Re: Preparing Al sheets; other factors
Dear Loris, Just for the record: After coating with 'the beer method' and drying, there is a faint white powdery layer on the surface. Just rinsing with water under the tap to get rid of it, let it dry , and it is the aluminum surface again. cheers, Henk On 25 mrt 2009, at 14:37, Loris Medici wrote: Dear Henk, 25 Mart 2009, Çarşamba, 3:25 pm tarihinde, henk thijs yazmış:On 25 mrt 2009, at 13:40, Loris Medici wrote:I asked to my chemicals supplier about waterglass; they have liquid form (something around 20-30%)... Is the addition of NaOH strictly necessary?Loris, i have no idea, i am just a simple gum printer; the recipe comes via a former list member (Klaus Pollmeier) from an old german book. I just used it as written; the beer was pilsener , a 6 percent german beer.Ok, pilsener is fine :) Will do exactly as it is written...Thanks, so the surface isn't white as shown in the reproductions inJust another thing: the reason i tried aluminum was the 'silvery shining', so in order to avoid the sanding -lost of shining- i used the toothpaste, in a way a 'pumice' or? The other thing is that for me the real 'silver shine' was obtained with 'kitchen aluminum' (i mean the stuff used in the kitchen to wrap things :-). succes,
