Best anodizing guide?

With something like that, I'd be making sure they were well earthed, and powered via a good RCD.

Have you had a look at any of the youtube videos for ideas?
I've got these saved in my watch later list

It's been a while since I watched them, so can't remember exactly what they covered, but they must of contained something worthwhile that I never deleted them after watching them..

Thinking about it.
Cleaner, Dye and Sealer don't care if they are in a metal container?
Why not just use stainless cooking pots and put them on those cheap hot plates?

As variable knob too so could potentially not even need thermostat controller?

Obviously not put the acid/lye in these, they still need plastic containers.

that's probably the way i'd do it personally yeah

£11 for the hotplate, £8 for the 5L stainless pot. Total price is much better than Plastic tub plus heat element and controller...
