Titanium melt/polish job?

[gosuto]

Alright so just seeking some advice/knowledge from more experienced tinkerers. I've got a titanium framelock and I wanted to do a bit of rounding of the corners and work on the finish of it. I got tired of the really worn titanium so I polished it to 2000 grit and got a really nice high finished satin but now I want to melt the edges and redo the finish into a nice stonewash. Any advice for fixing the contours of the presentation side?

Melting titanium is going to be outside the realm of reason. The melting point is well over 2000 degrees, and it has the odd characteristic of burning before it melts. Polishing is done like any metal, but just in case there is a link below.

My bad, I didn't mean like a literal melt, more like smoothing all the edges to a comfortable curve

"melt" is a legit gunsmith term for rounding off sharp handle/slide contours, so . . . use files and sandpaper to contour the edges, then put the scale in a tied sock full of tiny pebbles, put that in a tshirt which you tie closed & put that in the dryer and give it a spin for an hour or so.

Well I learned something new today. People have knowledge on both ends of the scale. For sanding, a cushioned file or sandpaper on soft rubber will contour while still rounding off.
