Home Anodizing Set-up
The thread may be old, but not nearly as old as me. Big Grin

I read in the reference material I was using that commercial dyes are better suited to the pore size of an anodized surface than fabric dyes, so they tend to be more intense and more permanent. The commercial dyes were also quite reasonably priced, so the experimentation route was less attractive.

I'm glad you enjoyed the build.
