Warpig did a short article on it not too long ago. It covers some of the basics, but dosent go in to too much detail. Speaking from experience, you can expect to spend over a thousand bucks for equipment if you want to do a good quality job. Additionally, don't expect your first experiment to come out top-notch. There's a lot more to doing a good job than what they tell you in the how-to articles and books.


Hope this helps,

Carl

I did this research a couple months ago. My set up is a 50/50 solution of battery acid and distiled water. I'm just using a 12v 15a battery charcher for the power supply. For the color i use Rit fabric dyes (found with fabric softener/deturgent. I use 1 bottle to 1 gallon of water). To seal i just suspend the part in boiling water for 30 min.

Works great so far. Good luck! :)
