Hi guys - I have been having good luck with my LCD setup so far. I have made some nice Black parts and had good results with Fast Blue.
When I dyed my parts with the Deep Red, I ended up with a voilet/fuschia color. I dyed at 140F for 15min and sealed with the Caswell Sealer as directed. In a 2nd attempt I dyed for 2min and still got a fuschia/pink color.
What could be causing this?
Did I make the dye wrong or something? (too much dye, not enough water...
)
The specs are
3:1 water/acid 1 qrt capacity
lead sheet cathode
anodizing time worked out to be 100 min
acid temp = 70F
Everything was done with distilled water
Parts were polished 6061-T6
In the container the dye even looks a like sort of bright fuschia colored.
I really want a Red color like you see on racecar hose fittings.
Let me know what you think. Thanks
