Heu guys I tried to do the soda and 9v battery anodize last night and I wound up with a fat battery and no color on the scale.

What I did was connect some speaker cable to the positive terminal on the 9volt battery. Then I crimpped up the tip of the cable and squeezed it into a screw hole on the scale (this is where the positive made contact to the scale). I then connected a cable to the negative terminal and just submerged it in the soda with the scale. I saw some bubbling but no color change on the scale. I also touched the scale with the negative cable for a while and no reaction except the battery getting fat.

Any help. Thanks
 
Just touching the wire to the titanium won't do it. Lay a diet coke soaked paper towel over the titanium and then touch the negative to the titanium by rubbing it over that soaked paper towel, after wrapping that positive wire on it and see what happens then. 9 Volts is going to be a very light shade of khaki. 12 volts would be more noticed and 15 even more so still getting into a brown/copper bronze color.

12 volts got me gold/yellow. 12 volts on deep cycle got me a slightly changing pink.

Might want to get a second piece of Ti to complete the circuit through the cola.
 
I just tossed it on top of the stove and moved it a couple of times so I wont get the grill marke on the scale. Its taking awhile but you control the color change. Im trying to get the blue. The only thing is I have 1 spot in the scale that isnt changing coolor. I cleaned it with alcohol before putting it on the grill. Sucks. I will post pics when Im done. Think its been like an hour so far.

Colors went from
tan/khaki/purple/blue
