Product Description
These professional quality anodizing dyes provide consistent, quality results. The same dyes are sold to professional anodizing shops all over the world. 4oz of dye concentrate makes 2 Gallons.
These colors are approximate. The finish will normally have a more 'metallic' look, and will vary slightly depending on the alloy and surface preparation.
Procedure for Obtaining Dyed Anodize
Anodize the aluminum at 60-75°F for 90 minutes at 4.5 amps per sq foot or 0.03 amps per sq inch. Use our Anodizing Kit.
After thorough rinsing, immerse the part in the dye at a temperature of 140°F for 15 minutes.
Finally, seal by hanging the part in a sealer bath for 15 minutes.
All dyes are fully ROHS compliant.

new dye in the mix
Caswell has gone with a slightly different form of this dye. Instead of being liquid, this is in a powder form. You still mix it in the same quantity, just mix to distilled and heat. I'd have to say that I like it in powder form, although I question if it will remain unclumped like my last batch of black did to me. Looked like egg drop soup with black snot. I wasn't impressed. This however, seems to be working great.

black
Comes out a nice rich black. worked best for me when it was heated to 140 degrees.

you need it
It's black. Nothing more. It's probably the most used of any dye color. I do not like the price considering you use it so much and it does need to be replaced fairly frequently. But price and replacement factor doesn't affect the review.
