spills is on a distinguished road
Default Im lost, can someone help me get started up?

Forgive me, I know yall get this type of stuff all the time. I've seen a couple of writeups on how to get the anodizing "system" setup, but I still have a few questions:

-What percent sulphuric acid should I be looking for, 37%?
-Is it a 50/50 mix of acid and water in the ano tank?
-Are there any material's I should stay away from for the tanks construction?
-Where can I get a listing of the chemicals needed and their appropriate ratios?

I'm the type of person that needs a step by step guide basically to get started. Once I get the basics down, I can go from there. Im going to Barnes and Noble tomorrow to get "The electroplater's handbook", that should cover a few of my questions but I was wondering if there was a good resource online I can refer to to get started up correctly. Im not going to be able to do the "hard" ano, I cant afford the refrigeration and such. Any input?
