Description
This started as an experiment with anodizing, specifically how well a product called "Press-N-Peel Blue" worked as a resist.

The short of it is, yes. Press-N-Peel Blue works very well as a resist for anodizing. However, I need to fine-tune the process on my end due to some visable smudging and bleeding in the final product.

Anyway. I figured that I may as well cut it out and hammer a pin-back on it- Which brings me to another thing I learned when making this: Figure out how to attach a pinback BEFORE anodizing. If you couldn't tell, the rivets were kind of a last minute solution.

Happy birthday, . This should have shown up at your doorstep when this submission goes live.
