I dont know.. I also contacted him, but still no response.. maybe he isn`t (very) active here anymore.
 
hello! not been on for a while... I moved house and need to get set up again (new chemicals etc.) but normal service will resume soon hopefully!!
sorry if I have not responded to any messages...

That's great! Ive been subscribed to this thread for a few months in hopes of this and here I was about to unsubscribe. I'll keep my eyes out for you to resume business. Very nice work,Indeed. Particularly this:

I look forward to some updates!
 
I know this is somewhat of a necro but I came across this thread and have to ask if you're planning to start anodizing anytime soon
 
Very interested as well, I have a titanium preon that I would have to have done.
 
Your work was just recommended to me by stateofheart. I have at least a couple of lights I'd like done too when you get set up again. Possibly the two Ottavino's like you did before.

You do titanium but not aluminum, correct?
 
I'll be interested to see if you get an answer. theslippyslug's last post in the thread was six months ago, and I gave up waiting for a reply to my last PM.

Aluminum is a different process for aluminum you soak in a bath of sulfuric acid while electrolysis is done this makes the metal receptive to dye after it is prepped in the acid bath it gets rinsed the placed in the coloring bath then into a hot bath to seal the color in.

Titanium is much different as the oxide layer is what makes the color the thicker the layer the further through the spectrum it goes. So the thickest is at the highest voltage.
 
I had a question about your process do you use a multi etch bath? Or what do you do to prep the piece before begining the work?

No, only one bath, It is the voltage what change the color, so you don't need to have more baths.
 
do you dip into the higher voltages like 50-110v? I am having issues getting good colors over 40v and my pieces past 40v don't seem to anodize evenly. My goal is to hit the second purple/blue band that is supposed to be around 83v.

Most information i have found is the pieces need to be etched with something called multi etch or hydrofloric acid and i don't wish to mess with that.

I anodize in ammonium phosphate. I never heard about process with hydrofloric acid. My power supply for anodizing range from 12V to 65V 3A, and in that range I achieve all my colours, anything above 65V is uneven, so i don't go above. Hope this will help.
