Thanks Catorce,
Thanks DP, I'll head over to the Caswell website and see if I can find something on brighteners. I bought my yellow chromate from Caswell and their service was excellent. I have no trouble spending money on chemistry, I just need to know what to buy.
I understand and appreciate the procedures you're sharing, but I'm not 100% clear on the chemicals. The brightener gets added to the electrolyte, yes? Is it this?

I'm not clear on what the $78 'replenishment pack' refers to. Is this a chemical used to make the electrolyte? That is, in place of the water, vinegar, epsom salts mix? Is it this?

I'll see if I can find what you're describing at the Caswell site. I'm also going to download their e-book. Lot's to learn! Thanks!
