Thanks for all the info.
Two things... do you happen to know if using LDPE (low density polyethylene) tanks will cause a problem?
Second, I had read about using RO or distilled water, but I expect to be using a lot of it in the rinse stages, and I can't see how I can economically produce enough RO water to do the job - and I would then have to pump it to the rinse baths, right?
Where is this issue on a scale of 1-10?
I find it interesting talking to people who have worked in the field for years. They keep telling me I need to check the pH of the solutions every day, particularly the dyes and Nickel Acetate sealer. They also say that you should only use PVC or polypropylene tanks, not just any old plastic. And then there is heating the solutions... how critical is all this stuff? I am assuming it is more for big commercial plants.
Thanks for helping me get going!
