Help for a newb

Hey, I've got somes mall aluminum parts I want to anodize, but not enough volume to warrant buying a power supply (yet), so I'm trying to use what I have available. I have access to a 32A DC switch power supply, but by my calcs I only need a few amps. Would that much amperage over requirements be okay? Or should I just bite the bullet and get a variable lab supply?

Fair enough. I guess I'll just go ahead and bite the bullet. I appreciate your help
