    Default TCSS Sleeve Material anodized?

    Does the TCSS Sleeve Material come with the outside already anodized? What is the best way of removing the anodized coating so that I can salt water etch it?

    Pretty sure it is a raw piece of aluminum, not anodized

    Interesting, the piece that I got from TCSS is non-conductive on the outside. Maybe its just oxidation build up? I tried to sand it away but it's a pretty thick layer. I had to scratch it with my multimeter probes to get any kind of conductivity. See pictures below of multimeter on the sleeve material and a main body.

    Oxidation most likely. Raw aluminum forms a thin film of aluminum oxidide quite rapidly and efficiently.
