Checklist

Posted by admin on September 7th, 2009 at 09:08am

Hey everyone,

I have been lurking for quite some time; learning. I feel that now is about the time that I may just really go into this thing for myself, just for some fun. I’m not looking to make a business out of it, and I am not doing large parts. My parts are 6-8 sq. in., not quite as big as most of the stuff you guys work on. I only need to do about 1-2 of those parts at a time, since I don’t mind waiting. With this being the case, it seems to me that I barely need an Amp to achieve the results I am looking to get using LCD. So, the reason I am posting here is to get some advice about the equipment I need to look into getting. So far, I have the list below, and subsequent questions about those items.

The list:
-Goggles
-Respirator
-Gloves (any type that you prefer?)
-Apron
-Baking Soda
-Power Supply (will the 3A or 5A work for my small batches: Caswell Inc. – Plating Rectifiers)
-Battery Acid (where do you typically get this? I’m about to head out the door to my local auto parts store)
-Dyes (which would you recommend and how much/how many)
-A LOT of distilled water
-Bleach (standard household clorox?)
-Lye
-Small plastic tub (5 litres or so)
-Small plastic containers for dyes and cleaning (~7)
- wire for hanging
- bar to make rack out of
- sheet for cathode (2x as large as my parts, just to be safe?)
-Spray bottles (~2)

Thank you all for your help, this could be an exciting journey!

EDIT: Also, are things like agitation, aeration, mist balls, etc. necessary for such a small scale setup?
