Anodizing titanium

[Hvactech]

Hello all! I recently purchased a DC power supply from Amazon for anodizing titanium. From those here that is proficient at this, what else do I need to purchase to start this new project besides the power supply? Plus any other tips that you may have would be great as well. Thanks in advance to all that helps me out!

I've done a few clips, and it's a lot easier than you might think. The biggest thing is to get the work as clean as possible. Just google on the preparation, and go with whatever makes you comfortable.

Fine emery is what I've used to get the surface finish I'm looking for. The cool thing is, if you don't like the resulting colors, just sand it off and start over. It's that easy.

You’ll need some titanium wire, some baking soda, and distilled water. Also something steel to use as an anode (cathode)? You may also want some Multi-etch to strip the anno if you don’t like it.
