Re: Anodizing calculations (720 Rule)
Parts range from small blocks to flat plates several inches long and wide.
Tank has plastic air hose with holes in it.
We are using the 720 rule.
It has reached 80 degrees before. Usually hits 76 to 77
We are using distilled water for rinsing. It may be the sealer. We have had to add 5 gallons of distilled water due to evaporation about every two days. Do I need to also add sealer? With the black dye the sealer has also turned a dark color. Will this affect my clear anodize parts that do not get dyed?
We too are running a window unit but are not able to keep the heat down. I can get the temp down to 68 if I run the unit for a couple hours before running the parts but withing an hour to hour and 1/2 it is up in the middle to upper 70's.
After I dye the parts and apply the sealer the parts look very black and shinny. After they have dried they are chaulky looking and dull. I wipe them with a cloth and some of the dye rubs off? Parts also look streaky.
I know what you mean on the cost of the chiller.
