More Oxy-Clean type Ti play!!..Amazing results!! >>>

[frankt8242]

I am the proud owner of the infamous Pam 192 that lost its "tachy" marking to the Oxy-Clean because the guy forgot to remove the ring...
Well...I was in my local "Dollar General" store yesterday, and i saw this:

Hmmm...Knock off Oxy-Clean...for a buck, why not!!!
So I took my spare Ti Caseback(off the 192), and cleaned it up with a "tuffy pad" and some soap to look like this:

Then I cooked for @15 minutes in a solution of 1 cup (8oz) of water, and 3 scoops of the "stuff", and got this:

I then cleaned it up to look like this:

Seems to impart a bronze like finish...Kind of almost "SLOB" like...Hmmmmm...
I bet my 036 would look sweet that color!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

And now after @ 30 minutes drying it looks like this:

Hmmmm.... :roll: :roll: :roll:

I am curious, is this the effect you are looking for?

Holy Cow your watch is turning orange. Cook it for another hour and see what happens.

Interesting, but what happens if you use a metal polish such as Flitz or MAAS? Or, perhaps any type of metal polish? I can't believe that finish is "forever."

 

[Klink]

for ever is

for ever..

prolly is definiation of for 'ever'

and belief

is eternal!

(well, gene rationally speaking, as long as lasts the species...)

:mrgreen:

life is good!

And if I dunk my watch in grape juice it will turn purple. :wink:

Sorry for the sarcasm but I couldn't resist. Are you going for a vintage look of some kind?

 

[avitt]

It looks kinda...well...Rusty! Wear it for a while, and see if your wrist turns orange.

Are you going for a vintage look of some kind?

Vintage Titanium??

 

[twg7722]

What you have done is...

Build up a beautiful layer of Titanium Dioxide on the surface of the Ti

 

[brtelec]

I like and understand a vintage look. Is this a neglect look?

Do not let the negetive comments discourage you. It is all about experimentation, and that is part of fun. You are just one step short. Take a piece of foil, lay it flat than put a drop of WD40 or other light oil on the foil. Than using figer tip (or a cotton swab for tite spots) rub VERY VERY little oil all over the complete surface of the Ti & rub it dry. This will even out the finish. The result is amazing. I have done this to my 2 Gen Ti Pams. You will get a PVD type look (very dark matte grey or medium dark matte grey, depending on the grade of Ti used).
