anodizing bath

[jamerson]

I recently ran a bath and didnt notice there was a piece of copper inside my work. Now my acid bath has a blue ish tint to it and my gp plates have what it looks like copper on them. do i need to start all over again with the acid bath, and will scrubbing the copper off of the plates work or do i need new ones?

I'd start over, but I have no first hand knowledge of the effects this may have on your parts. It seams likely the contamination will affect your process. I anodize expensive paintball guns, etc., and there is no way I would risk ruining my efforts.
