The dye will work much better at 140* as recommended.
I'd up the sealer temp to 190-200*.

Somewhere in the Caswell book I read to do a quick dip to neutralize the part hence the rinse. What sort of problems can it cause me?
Dye- parts that ano'd took die really good. To good actually. Left them in blue 4a 20 minutes and they almost look black. One part didn't anodize but took some die. Not sure what that was.
About the sealer- since this was my first time I was scared to death I was going to melt the cooler
Next time I will crank up the heat more.
I bought a 3 pack of squirt bottles and filled them all with R.O. water to spray the parts (very liberally I might add) between baths.
Looking back on my first job it was a variety of various sizes of parts totalling approx 28sq in. All the aluminum hanging wires came out beautiful! Not all the parts did. Is it safe to assume I lost connection on some parts?
Dusty, how far are you on your setup?
