Being in a rush at the time, I posted the single word response of "Pass...".
Though truly not intended that way, it was easily interpreted as rude and dismissive of his idea, which was NOT my purpose! I apologize to Tung for my thoughtless comment (now deleted), and will try to be more sensitive with my wording in the future. My bad, sir!
I know others here share my opinion that Tung has quickly become a highly valued & respected member of this forum with his wealth of knowledge & experience, and unflagging willingness to share it. His informative post deserved a much better response than the one I gave it.
I was going to reply earlier today, but I didn't want DVM's very nice note get burried so I've quoted his eloquent response... good job DVM.
This is interesting on the anodizing process. I have a canoe with anodized gunnels (side rails), and I also carry an anodized cookset when I trip because of its strength to weight ratio. I never knew how you anodized aluminum, I guess I thought it had to due with some form of heat treating/compression... now I know.
Thanks for the post Tung! :
