Sweet, thanks! You seal it afterward?

Happy to help! Nah I like the rough matte look and don't mind getting a patina. Might polish if I ever do get bored of the look though!

I just switched away from a board which I’d initially started hand sanding with the goal of polishing. I bailed after like the sixth hour of sanding and sent it off to be plated. I’ll definitely be using your method if I ever decide to go down the raw metal finish route again though!

Oh dang, yeah trying to hand sand off ano is a mad task as you don't know how thick the layer is. Just make sure you don't leave the parts in caustic soda for too long as it eats the metal.
