Default Re: problem with black dye

You might have the low-temp sealer (forgot to mention that one). If nickel is a controlled metal in your country, that may explain it. Simply steam sealing with distilled water is an option too.
What other chemicals do you have? Are they also low temp?
As for your power source... measure the surface area of your parts, multiply by (for example) 6 amps per sq. ft. (sorry, you'll have to convert) for your power needs. You'll need at least 15 volts, plus whatever amperage is calculated.


Flourescent pink is an instant color, but dark colors like black need heat for sure.
