I am new to engraving and I'm having some difficulties transfering my designs to metal using acetone. I have recently ordered some applique paper for gunstock carving but don't know if this method will work on metal. I also have no clue how to get my designs onto blued metal since ink shows...
This is also something I would like to try some day. The blued titanium watches with the gold inlay that Chris DeCammilis does for the Montana Watch Co. are awesome.:yes Blue and gold together have a beautiful look.:thumbs up:
Heat coloring of titanium:
Pale Gold Straw-385 ºC = 725 ºF...
I found this to be very interesting. I don't particularly like the style of his jewelry but, I like the idea of various colored metals in layers. This might come in handy some day.
