Stamped UV Pests
Hi Folks,
The Pests continue to trickle out of the shop...I have some stamped ones today with UV anodizing. These were some of my favorites so far. They run $70 plus shipping and the link is below...thanks very much!
Yea. I was starting to think I might miss all the Pests. So glad I caught one. I got a bee stamped poltergeist, looking forward to what I get on the Pest. Thanks Peter
this was somehow done over my phone (android) while escorting tankers into Prince William Sound, Alaska (about 40 miles from the closest village.. ya gotta love the new world order of communications systems!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great looking tool Peter, thanks much
UV is just a name I came up with to describe this vibrant purple color. Anodizing is the process of creating a color on titanium. The part is dipped into a container of water and trisodium phosphate. An electrical charge is introduced and depending on how much juice is there gives you the different colors.

Missed it! And I was sitting right here atthe computer!!!
gah, this one is stamped! Just got the non-stamped UV one today and it does look pretty nice.
If there's a stamped, green one down the line I'll be all over that, hopefully in time.
should have held out...
Peter,
How about another sign-up sale? Have not seen one of those in quite a while...
My first Atwood tool! Can't wait to get my paws on it.
Thanks Peter, the addiction has started.
I can't do nothing but miss these. Much sadness. Congratulations to those of you with better luck/skill though!
Hey Pete, love my G5. Care to explain the difference between UV and Anodizing?
UV is just a name I came up with to describe this vibrant purple color. Anodizing is the process of creating a color on titanium. The part is dipped into a container of water and trisodium phosphate. An electrical charge is introduced and depending on how much juice is there gives you the different colors.
Thank you for the explaination. How do you get the patterns
?
That info is proprietary. ;)
Still trying to get my first Atwood. Hopefully I'll have better luck next time :)
Blue pest already on Ebay.
