Default Re: problems with some areas not taking dye

Alright, ill add the varisol and dish liquid steps in.

I do have a desmut step.

Sometimes the parts are fresh buffed and sometimes they are not.

What I normally do is strip the anodizing layer, buff, and clean. Sometimes I put in the deox step rince and let dry for another day to anodize. I normally take the precaution of cleaning the parts that have been sitting for a few days and put them in the degreaser, rince and begin with the anodizing.

I do my anodizing in a 3 car garage, in one end is my buffing and the other is my anodizing. Im not sure if any of the buffing particles will affect the hanging parts either so this is the reason I re insert the part into the degreaser.
