re-ano baked parts?

i have heard that baked parts scratch a lot more easier and i am planning on anodizing them again, would they still scratch easier?

p.s didn't know what section to post this in.

If it's re annodised then I presume no, as you have applied a new layer of anno

Unless you have baked the aluminium too much and it becomes brittle which would be an allround bad thing

Baking sucks, and as Rosie said, it depends on how long it was baked for, the longer you bake it for the longer it starts to affect the metal itself, but generally once its been re-anno'd it should be okay (ish) as the old anno is stripped off and then a tiny layer of metal is removed too, but then a new layer of anno is applied, so in no, the new anno wont scratch easier, but the metal itself may be weaker as a whole

most baking is done at around 200*c, that kinda temp really isn't gonna effect the aluminium its self. Just break down the dyes within the anno.

Providing you heated it up and cooled it down slowly then it should be fine
