David, thanks for showing and sharing information.
I will be taking all this data and doing a trial as soon as I finish with other projects.
I will be consulting you to have precise data on some point. Surely then I will make a video and logically you will be the teacher!
Thank you, I am still attentive to any information you can provide us.

Sorry I must specify these 4 acid parts for very little water as the cars batry acid is Not pure acid wit pure acid Never add water directly to the acid and mix is 1 parts acid for 3 parts water slowly ad acid To water carful wit that pure acid is Not like cars batry is Dilute already Be very careful with these chemicals Never do this indoors in a well ventilated area once the parts fuly Clean of any contaminated stuf Never use metal just aluminum To hang the piece in the center of the container The part must be fixed on the positive side a large aluminum plate on the negative side start wit lower power like 9 v wit size of crankcase in one cup During the anodization the part becomes isolated from the current we must increase the voltage up to 12v 3 amps max

For coloring use pure dye or dilute very slightly It is possible to apply it in different ways I leave the choice to you y like To dab dip the parts in pure dye Then with a piece of cotton dip in the dye I rub the piece lightly for dark color

Sometimes it is impossible to soak the too large part To color just Tap with the applicator pad direct on the part

Leave excess drip in container Rub gently with a cloth Soak in the dye To get dye out the Bottle pierce the pad wit Somting just push Drill a hole on pad

Small reminder always protect your hands well wear clothes for this aifect a good mask with covid 19 easy to find lol!

If you want to try the experiment yourself, try it with aluminum leftovers or other unimportant parts. It's harder than it seems It takes a few tries to master the technique. Do this out side important Not in direct sun light heat color litle help wit som color like red not wit blue best its cold
if its made correct color fix To the parts almost instantly It is a very satisfying work which improves the pieces at the same time
