Are there any other good deals on power supplys you guys can recomend to me?

Thanks.

(Im from Canada, so I need some place that is shipping friendly lol)

Yup, thats what you need. Only way to get one cheaper than that is to buy one used.

[paintballkidz]

This is a unit that you plug into an outlet and use right?

I made the investment Should have a it in the coming weeks. Gave up my r/c hobby for this so I hope to make some money in this.

Ok.,
So I went to home depo and purchased a 12 Gal bin for my acid bath. A length of aluminum flat as my tank bar.

Plan on filling the bin with 9 gallons of distilled water and 3 gallons of battery acid (1.265 sg)-anyone know what that meens? this sufficient for a paintball gun?
will be anodizing 1 gun set at a time, (1 body, trigger frame & misc. small parts) or less.

grabbing a bunch of caswell dyes (ano dye starter kit)

sealant, de-ox/smut, degreaser from a fellow anodizer.

2 x 8"x 8" GP plates - sufficient for a 9 gallon bath?

2 x 300w titanium heaters, i will be moving these heaters from tank to tank.

I found some 20 guage aluminum wire at the hardware store, is this good for hanging the parts? if not any recomendations.

Anyone know a Canadian friendly place that sells lye or ano stripper, caswell ones are expensive.

What is a cheap decent pump that i can run for agitation? you cannot anodize properly with out one?


any other suggestions?

Thanks!!!

( i need to save alot of money here on the pump)

so far I have dropped $250 into the pot for the power supply, About $300 for the chemicals, cathode, heaters. Now I am worried about the pump

You could always stir it my hand with a wooden stir stick until you've made a little money back.
DO NOT TRY A GUN FOR YOUR FIRST RUN... PRACTICE ON SCRAPS FIRST!

So would I sit there for an hour and stir constantly?

Yeah, definetly not a gun for the first try, I will do eye covers.

How much will a pump run me,.

I wouldn't even try eye covers, unless your never going to use them or sell them.
