Well, my batch of 2011 turned out ok. I kept in for about the same time as yesterday(50 minutes) but changed the ano bath from 1:1 ratio to 1:2 ratio, and ran a better connection to all the cathode plates. Once again, the voltage decreased while anodizing. It started at 17V and ended at 11V. The bath temp also went up about 3-4 degrees, dont know how much that effected it.
Do you think the fume control balls actually help maintain bath temp much(I read that they do somewhere)?
How bad is the hydrogen gas to breathe? Its getting very noticeable again since im not using LCD anymore. If I put a papertowel inside a regualr dust mask I can work fine without noticing it, but without the mask your coughing. Im going to make some sort of fume hood, just wanted to know how dangerous it is until I get that complete.
Thanks guys
