Problems with tank temp - Plating Powder Coating Buffing Anodizing

Slip666 · #1 (**permalink**) 12-20-2006, 02:09 PM

Okay I haven't been on here for awhile or attempted anodizing for that matter. Last time I tried was during the summer and I believe I was having problems with dissolution due to my tank temp being to high. I live in Massachusetts and it's winter now and cold in my basement. Where my tank is located. The temp of the tank currently is 48*F. What would happen if I ran a couple length of aluminum wire into the tank and ran some current through to heat up the tank while I prep my parts and then put them in for the current amount of time and amperage? If that wouldn't work what would be a good way to heat up the tank to a usable temp during the winter? Thank you for your help once again

Why don't you just use an aquarium heater and heat it to 72 f ?

I use aquarium heaters. They work good.
