I was already pretty familiar with anodizing, but this is by far the most straight forward and beginner friendly video I've seen on it using regular household supplies. Great job.

This is an amazing breath of fresh air, not that normal videos are getting stale or anything. The cool factor of learning is what stands out to me

I really appreciate you showing what common mistakes are and the results of them! So many how-to videos only show a perfect run.

[InlyRunFactory]

I've said it before, but this is the content. You guys rock.

Serializing up to the voltage you need by simply clicking 9V blocks together is brilliant!

[TeddyRoooosevelt]

I've searched for videos on titanium anodization many times but never found a good one. You guys delivered! Thank you!!

[adamtimmins]

This video inspired me to try it this weekend. I did two knives and I love the results on both. Thanks! P.S. a helpful tip: Whink rust remover takes off any prior anodizing, so if you mess up, it's super easy to start over.

A very well made video and the fact you took the time to show other colors and how many batteries needed is top notch. Well done boys.

[MindIessGuy]

Not many videos actually say how to remove anodizing so that in of itself is amazing. Kudos on your first how to video being a grand slam.

*This process only works with titanium.*

It's just a good habit with every battery hookup, no matter the size or voltage, to hook up the positive first, then the negative. At this level not a big deal, but at higher amps it can make a difference in generating shorts. Just a good habit to apply to all battery hookups. Positive is the first one on and the last one off. Cool video!

Hey Blade HQ, that's a pretty sweet looking Pilar. Really cool concept and presentation, keep up the great work!

Just used this to anodize the back spacer on my Oz Roosevelt to a nice indigo. Looks baller!

[csknives]

This is super cool. Thanks for sharing guys!

Its interesting how Zac can make anything look amazing and not boring, i tried to watch some of these kind of tutorials on YouTube before and i never watched them all the way thru but this one i did so i think Zac is doing something right.

Good stuff! Don;t forget to make sure all lockbars and such are either removed or covered (clear nailpolish works great) cause if you have anything more conductive, it'll bypass the titanium. For higher voltage colors, also try and do both scales at the same time so they match, it never works QUITE the same twice

[AfromusPrime]

Just tried, worked pretty well. Not quite the vibrant color I was expecting, but more than I thought a fist full of batteries and some baking soda would get me before this video. Thanks guys.

[sears]

I have all titanium backpacking cookware and gear, now you got me thinking on what crazy stuff I could do to them.

[medicmason]

New vid; New series!?!? Best birthday present ever 😍 love me some BHQ!!!

[PaulBagdasarian]

I can't believe how easy that was. Tried tonight 1st with a few batteries, then switched to a dc power supply I had. Results were awesome, thank you!
