That's the guy! Many thanks as my bookmark is on another PC.

I have the power supply to do it. Just need the chemicals and the color.

Chris, do the organic dyes tend to come from school store cupboards, or are they commonly available?

I use them for powder coating powders on occasion. Looked at them for chemicals too... I will probably try it this summer.

Ok, I am at work right now so I can't post any pics....

When I first started back in July of 2010 I tried most of the rit dyes and sealed with boiling water.  For me the rit dye just didn't cut it. 

This is a run down of what I am using now and it works.  It works well enough I am ready to sell some of the products I have been working on and in house anodize them.


* Constant Current Power Supply
* Commercial Dyes
* Commercial Searler (mid temp nickle acetate (160-190 degrees)
* Dyes, sealer, ano bath are all mixed with Distilled Water
* Rinsing is done with RO water.  Both using a spray bottle then dunking the part many times.
* PH is tested and adjusted as needed before every run ($50.00 purchased on ebay)
* Weted surface area is always calculated for time and amps to keep close to 12ASF
I will try to help anyone as best I can...
