Default 2nd attempt

My second attempt at anodizing-

estimated SA= 14sq inches, ASF@9
60xx or 7075 grade, not sure which.

Brief etch in lye & water (@ 4-5 minutes) followed by a de-ox/de-smut
Ano bath 80 minutes @low to mid 60s, next R.O dip, Dye (blue4A) about 3 minutes @90', another dip in R.O., Seal 20 minutes @160'+ (steaming hot!)

Only one nut lost connection. There is some slight shadowing on one or two parts.
