Yes, you are missing something. There is more to this than just adding dry ice and hooking up an arc welder.
The current needed for this kind of process is in the 30 amps per sq. ft. range I believe, and that kind of power will really heat up the electrolite. Your power source is not appropriate for anodizing, and the temperature control would be very difficult to monitor.
The LCD method is a proven and safe type II process.
