Alright, but that still doesn't solve the bath heating....

[sswee]

Which bath?
If you're referring to the anodize tank, a glass tube aquarium heater will work.
SS

alright thx for that i ust bought a 500 watt glass heater with digital thermometer hope it works

umm im kinda confused here what is the name for the tan compound?

[acidrain]

I use BLKBC5 (black) for cut, and BRBC5 (brown) for color... not quite sure why I picked that one, but seams to color out well, but does leave a good amount of residue that needs to be cleaned off.
Maybe this one would work well too (or even better): F515-6126.
What are the rest of you guys using?

[Empire03]

ok thx for the clarification now can i get some help with the temps.


for the annodizing bath should be at or close to 70* correct?
the dye should be at 140* correct?
the sealer should be at 180* correct?

does the desmut and stripper have to be heated?

[acidrain]

Correct...
I heat both the De-smut and degreaser to 140F as well, but I'm not sure that's what is recommended... it will say on the package.

alright thx once again one more question tho. lol the dye gold s is that used for gold of is yellow?

[acidrain]

The Gold S is a very nice gold.
Polish to a brilliant shine, then ano to only .5mil. Then dye for a relatively short period of time (2 to 5 minutes?). To me, a lighter color looks more like real gold.

Ok, I have a few more questions for you guys.

1.What's the advantage to having a bigger annodizing bath?Besides fitting more parts.

2.How do I strip the anno inside of breeches?Does the stripper do it on its own?

3.How exactly do I measure the area of parts?I know how to find basic area,like rectangles,triangles,and circles.
