i did a test piece on wednesday evening.Rinsed it and hung it in clean water(keep it wet). Pulled it out at noon today and put in dye tank for 15 minutes at 140degrees.It took only about 1/4 the dye it should have.Found another piece in the shop that was anodized 3 or 4 months ago, threw it in for 15 and it seemed to take dye better(about1/2 what it should)??Im gonna do more tests this weekend. Let ya all know.
