This might also apply to the anodizing forum, but what I am thinking of would be for a dual plating/anodizing workbench set-up. Has anyone has any success trying to use copper tubing to plumb hot water around the plastic tanks with insulation wrapped around it as a heat source instead of the ceramic heaters? By using a hot plate heated main water tank and a water pump to circulate the heated water (controlled by valves) through the tubing around each of the tanks that need heating, would that transfer enough heat through the plastic (if both the tubing and the tanks were wrapped in insulation)? Just trying to figure out some way to avoid having to buy all the different heaters needed to set up a dual set-up for both chroming and anodizing.
