Aluminum Anodizing

Happy Customers

"It was a tremendously useful class for me. I learned a lot. Their way of explaining all the things is superb. As well as their patience with my questions. Their dominion of this matter is amazing. Complementing the theory with the practical class made a whole world of a difference. I really enjoyed the human side of the class as well."
