Masking questions

SS, if I want to add a alum. bar(across the top of the bucket) to wire parts to, do I have to include it in my SA calculations? Or is it only the SA in the solution I need? Thanks

only parts in the solution

Just like yoyoboy said. If it's not in the solution, then it's only passing the current on.

Hi everyone, just got back from town, can't find rubber cement anywhere.
I was told by one of the clerks at the old time hardware(not a big chain) store that they can no longer get rubber cement!! Does anyone know if 100% silacone caulk will work? Any info would be a big help!
Thanks

8.Wash again very good with distilled water
9.dye 2nd color
10.seal for a short time
11.remove mask
12.seal for rest of time
13.Spray with WD-40

I was thinking maybe run the part for 5 minutes or so after it has been masked and bleached to help the ano layer alittle more...Im not the best in this subject yet though....and will rubber cement dry under water?

What flavor of acid are you dipping in after the bleach?

[acidrain]

1:3 Battery acid/water... just like your tank (but not your tank :P )

so far ive did one really nice piece and didnt have any acid handy so I just dipped it in my main tank, Wouldnt suggest it though like acid said

Does anyone know if this 100% silicone will work for masking?

[acidrain]

I had horrible luck trying to mask with silicone.
For splash jobs, try hot glue... it peels off pretty easily.
Where do you live that you can't get rubber cement? It's sold everywhere here in the Seattle area.

Finaly found it at WallyWorld, I was real surprised that I had such a hard time finding it.
I live about 1 hour from Indianapolis.
