Originally Posted by metlmunchr Ron Newman's book on anodizing, available from the focuser.com link listed above, is the best 20 bucks you'll ever spend if you're interested in anodizing. He sells pro supplies at reasonable prices, and gives plenty of advice on what to use and why, as well as telling you why you shouldn't use fabric dyes, low temp sealers, etc if you want professional results. He also quotes some prices of some of the various "professional level" components, and some of these will make you rethink your equipment needs unless you're planning to go into the anodizing business full scale. Buy his book and read it, and you'll see the secrets to successful anodizing results are in cleanliness, proper rinsing, and an understanding of how the process works, rather than the purchase of a load of high dollar equipment. I had a couple questions specific to the parts I want to anodize, and my email to Ron was answered in a matter of hours. He even gave me a couple tips on what unnecessary steps I could omit for the particular material I'm using to actually enhance the results I'm looking for. No affilliation, just a satisfied customer.
