I use a lot of anodized screws and never had any problems. Better yet a lot off anodizing companies even use WD40 to make it a bit more shiny!!!<br />Here a link of the process where also WD40 is mentioned!!<br />http://www.engineeringhobbyist.com/projects/completed/anodizing/<br /><br />Best regards,<br />BidleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341941751324943000.post-63969187590154304642013-01-03T18:45:21.924+00:002013-01-03T18:45:21.924+00:00Hi, I was going to do just what you suggested but ...Hi, I was going to do just what you suggested but was told that I shouldn't use WD40 because it can damage the anodised surface.
