For sure get all your chemicals from caswell. Don't bother with the rit dye.. get real ano dye.
For new parts, all you will need is SP degreaser, dye, and high temp sealer.
If the parts are oxidized, or for stripping and re-anodizing older parts, you'll need stripper/etch, and desmut/de-ox.
Stripper/etch at room temperauture, desmut/de-ox at 120-140F, SP degreaser at 140F, ano tank at 68-70F, dye at 140F, and seal at over 180F.

Wow, that is the most info in any one place i could of ever got! I will order up all that stuff then and hopefully next weekend make my first batches. I went and spent some cash at the hardware store today on a nice buffing wheel and a small air pump tomarrow I am building some benches in my new shop and gonna get everything sorted and ready for "go time".

Oh yeah, i know you can figure your solution based on a rough 1:3, but really wouldnt doing it by ph be a better way? just add water or acid to change it? If that is a good way, what ph should i shoot for?
