Playing around with Titanium and glass

[BoroGlow]

Been trying some new techniques with titanium coatings. Hope you all enjoy.

[piedpiper608]

Outside or inside?

[hashmasta-kut]

[BoroGlow]

[Credo]

Abrasive blasting? Electroforming? titanium paste? lol give us a hint pretty please! :crazy:

Also the unsafe way ^

[Greymatter Glass]

I'm pretty sure he's kidding

[LooseSeal Baller]

well since he said new techniques i'm not sure. I have seen titanium spray that was just sprayed on with an air brush. produced a similar effect.

[Simian]

I bet that is tasty the first time you hit it with a flame.

[BoroGlow]

No spray paint lol. Actually Grinding the titanium into the glass is all. easy peasy for everyone to try. jason

^ Abe just mentioned the other day , the "sparkle" in steel wool , is molybdenum.

[hawkglass]

Do you use the ti like fritt then encase? Or am i missing a tech to coat the glass

[BORO]

If you read the post carefully , it says "coating" ... So fine powder , roll hot glass in powder ( on the outside)

And yes you can "coat " the inside ... But you would see the ti under the clear. ( you can see the clear is under, look at the carb , or mouthpiece. Look at the texture... ) My money says outside coating.

Frit is not ISO only.

[hawkglass]

Ik thats possible but i fugured itd be hard to melt in without the ground ti fuming
I could be wrong if so somone correct me

[snoopdog6502]

I should machine one of my "Fire breathing dragon" pipes from Ti solid stock. Hhhmmm..

So easy for most to understand, however this hawkglass dude does this crap to almost every post he replies in. Then he cries because people call him on his BS and then anybody that calls him on it get reprimanded but him. But he gets to keep posting crap like this. Something needs to happen to slow this kid down, its ridiculous.

Can I please get a link to some ti fumed glass? (Dead serious)

I did not know it did fume? ( yes all metals turn to a gas at some point)

I know the cool blue color on exhaust pipes are ti, heated.....

This is not a joke. I want to learn something new...

[hawkglass]

I dont have a link because it doesnt work it fumes inside out and explodes from built up gasses my concern wasnt the color it was the risk of an exploding pipe
Dont get me wrong its sweet to see somone do this with ti but i probly wont try it anytime in the future

Pm hashmasta-kut for details he is the person that brought this to my attention when i was looking for fuming alternitives to the usual silver and gold

[BORO]

^ sorry for any confusion .... Thanks for the clarity.

[hawkglass]

Thats kinda what made me check this thread out ....id actully like to know how he did this without sleeving or exploding the pipe

[dustyg]

The glass melts before the titanium fumes. If it doesn't, add some compressed air to your propane to cool your flame.

[hawkglass]

Thanks dusty

So i just reread my post and was not clear. I have a ton of titanium rod that I was trying to figure out what to do with. I put it in my dremel to make signing work a bit easier but i discovered that i could coat as much as i wanted as the rod applies smooth and easy to glass at high rpms. Does not rub off either. hope this helps clear up any confusion. Jason

I love how simple process gets everyone thinking, Thanks so much for sharing Jason!

A very similar method is done when blacksmithing red hot steel you take a brass brush to it and it melts the bristles just a bit and gives the steel a nice gold tone.

Oh I see. Basically you are "drawing" on a cold piece of glass with a Ti rod. Instead of sighing your name you are coloring the whole piece with it while using a high speed rotary tool. Got it. Thanks.

[hawkglass]

Id love to see a iso with a ti patern drawn on if ur up to it .....just a thought

[Aaron Ellis]

How do you get the whole inside with the titanium hawk?
