Re: Help... wont take dye
Yes this is a new tank. I did try the red dye and it came out a bit dull but otherwise ok. Should the aluminum be changing color at all during the process? I have done a form of anodizing a long time back on personal items with a battery charger. I just started doing anodizing again on a larger scale due to the problems and cost of the local anodizer. I figured cut the middle man and do it in house. I went all out this time and bought a tank and cc 50 amp power supply. Anyways my tank is 20 gallon with a mixture of 1 gallon to 3 gallons of distilled water bought from the store. Everything else is mixed with RO water. The tank uses aluminum for the cathode and has a surface area of around 12 feet. Its a u shaped loop. The tank is agitated with a pvc manifold and a 1100 gph little giant pump.
