Not really sure what "Hard Anodising" is, but it is probably a misnomer.  ::)

If an alloy is "Anodised" the process can always be reveresed using a strong alkali (eg Oven Pride); this is fundamental chemistry.  :angel:

I suspect that for "Hard Anodising" the anodised surface is over varnished with a lacquer of some sort to protect it; in this case you will first need to remove the lacquer, before resorting to Sodium Hydroxide / Caustic / Oven Pride to remove the anodised surface.  :daumenhoch:

Stop pussying about with oven pride and get yourself some caustic soda.

If it's a headset that you are trying to do ~ like a tange 300 or so then oven pride is fecking usless  ::)

haven't found any thing that will shift it, apart from polishing it out  :tickedoff:
