Vacuum Metalizing


I'm going to try a blog with details of vacuum experiments.
Now, I haven't any formal education...in vacuum technology. So most of the info that I'll put up will probably be wrong/dangerous/fun.

Saying that there are some amazing starting points on the web for this subject.
I plan to do vacuum metalizing. Now if your still reading this you probably have some idea of whats involved.
But still I'll give my quick description anyway-

1-You get a space and make it as empty as you can.
2-You get some Aluminium foil and heat it up till it disappears.
3-You admire the shiny surface of everything.

Not much to it you say. Well I found that there is. And I'm having a fascinating time trying!

I'm starting this blog a bit late in the project so I'll be craming lots in at the start to get it up to date and then it will crawl at the pace of any good no budget project.
