Anodising

[Champagne Murphy]

I've got some aluminium bits and bobs to refurbish an old Morse control and I figured they'd look nicer and last longer if they were anodised.
Anyone know where on the East coast I might get that done?

There's a place in Colchester that does our chroming but the name escapes me. They do all sorts of metalwork refinishing and polishing. Will double check who they were.

Some of us Englishmen have then as well.
Cerakote is extremely hard & far more durable than anodising

Speak to either Bob or Malc Fawkes of Maldon Marine. They'll be able to recommend someone.

I declare an interest - this is the company my wife works for. But Keronite is FAR tougher and long-lasting than anodizing. That said, it might be prohibitively expensive for a small number of parts. It has beenused on winches etc. on America's Cup boats!
