Sweet, sweet Sebbie. How complicated/precise is the procedure?

I've been out of i-net for a while so that's why I've been not able to respond earlier...

That's quite easy:
1. disassemble your benza
2. clean Ti slabs (brush + soap + water)
3. degrease it VERY GOOD. That's the key issue. Any industrial light degreaser will work. I've used... I don't know what... I've just asked a guy in the DIY store "good degreaser for titanium please"
4. get a butane torch with high-temp, narrow flame (pen-style works best, ask in DIY store again)
5. start flamingh your benza slabs... for a long time you got no color, than it turns: sand-brown -> purple -> deep blue -> light blue -> gold. Longer heating gives next colors.
6. Air cooling is just fine.
7. Lube and assembly your benza

There is no difference in slabs surface texture - after the flame treatment it handles just like any Sebenza.

However, if you're not sure what you're going to do... don't experiment with your perfect benza.
