Has anyone attempted a home brew vacuum metalizing system ?
Another "process" I would like to understand is making the inside of clear acrylic look like chrome from the outside. I have read an article that sated a vacuum formed part was removed from the mold, a "special aluminum powder" was "sprinkled" inside the formed part and the item was re-vacuumed and heated, producing a chrome looking finish.
H'mmm. Anyone know what this "special aluminum powder" is ? Any good links to related web sites appreciated.
thanks, Chris L
