- Whats shaking homies so today I got a sweet video on anodizing my NRB Trapcode Balisong. I wanted to make a sick custom ano on this balisong so I thought why not film it in case you guys wanted to see how. This process will work for anodizing anything that is titanium. The Balisong or Butterfly knife I am using is from NRB aka Not a Real Boy Knives check out his instagram here www.instagram.... and check out their website here www.nrbknives..... The supplies you will need to anodize titanium are listed here

Is your balisong like a best friend, but you don't have a way to show your knife you care? No sweat kid, you can anodize the metal coating with an oxide layer using Electrolytes, and your buddy Dylan is gonna show you how!
@Reed Joziah what???

Reminds me of the sick colors we wanted everything to be in the 90s as kids. Good job, man!
This is really interesting! very informative, too, I'm gonna try to mess around and anodize some stuff thanks to you, cheers from Uruguay and have a great day dude
+Kazini glad you like it I also have another video showing what volts get what colors you should check that out too
@@DylanKowalski123 Thanks for letting me know! I'll be checking it out right away
Great use of techniques for multiple colors in an easy to follow video. Thanks for putting it up.✌
i love that you use a discraft disc for a parts tray..... three of the best hobbies all in one video
i miss playing with balisongs... the blunt ones ofcourse.😀 nice share.
Haha, got into throwing a couple weeks ago and was interested in the anodizing try try it on a custom yo-you surprised/not
Surprised I come across a video of you doing this. Keep it up.
Thanks a ton for the video and great job on the anos. As a warning, it's not good to put Whink into glass or ceramic containers as it is hydrofluoric acid which reacts with them, and you should use plastic instead. Also, it's a good idea to mix baking soda in with the rinsing water to neutralize the acid.
Yea please don't use hydrofluoric acid like this. A tiny hole in that glove can cause a big problem
AWESOMENESS... To me, this was, this IS Balisong Knifes Porno... LOVE it ! ! ! ! ! ! !
i love that im not the only one using my golf discs for small parts holding :)
This was a awesome video. First time coming across your videos. I watched from beginning to end. Good work man keep it up
Thanks
@@DylanKowalski123 your welcome. Your free to view some of my content if you want bud
just a safety note, that rust remover is Hydrofluoric Acid, so make sure you understand how to handle it, it's bad biz
Seriously I’m terrified of touching this stuff even with rubber gloves
Shoutout for using the disc to hold all your knife parts. I do the exact same thing lol.
Awesome! New tricks for me to try
Beautiful work
looks really sharp
Where do you get the Ti wire and what size is it ?
Looks great Sir!
Disc golf always comes in handy
Thank you, now I know how....
Very cool!
Hey Dylan! Incredible work on those scales. Do you have any tips for getting started with making custom scales? Any recommendations on CAD programs you liked or any resources in general that helped you out? Keep up the good work man!
So you could in theory do some really awesome fades and swirls on these if you too your time at it. Those look awesome.
Hey @Dylan Kowalski
This video is awesome. I am thinking about anodizing one of my cheaper raw ti yoyos.
Very good
damascus balisongs
That's a very good technic, and also, solutions and explanations are usefulSSSSS!
CONGRATS and Thanks a lot.
(Even I don't know the composition of this "stain remover". Phosphoric acid ? Sulfuric acid? ...)
Thanks !
Nice 👍
+Beau Besancon thanks for watching
What metal is your spoon made of? Does it matter what kind of metal you use for the spoon?
Awesome tutorial my man! Been looking for a tutorial on anodizing with details for a while! And it was very entertaining as well! By the way, can I still anodize titanium without removing the beadblast or stonewash finish? Cause I want it to look a bit rough, but will it still ano well with those finishes on the titanium? Thanks!
+iRDude thanks for watching I have another video where I go through the full spectrum and show what colts get what colors.

@@DylanKowalski123 Thanks! Gonna have to watch that vid now!
You absolutely DO NOT have to sand to anodize (assuming no paint or painted clear coat). The only finish requirement is that the surface is completely clean. Acetone and a little Scotchbrite, followed by a very quick Whink dip usually does the trick. Unless you want a sanded or brushed finish look. I've done a lot of knives with blasted, brushed, tumbled, and full polish. They will each yield a slightly different look with their own pros/cons. Will say that a well done bead blast can yield amazing deep rich colors. And also be much more fingerprint resistant, than say, a full polish or lightly brushed surface finish.
@@bflying Thanks for the detailed reply! I want to anodize my knife with a stonewash finish, glad to know that I can, might start soon!
dope
Is there a video going over your setup and equipment you used for the charge?
nice project ...
Great video, I'd love to try this. I'm having a hard time finding the Whinks in Canada. Is there something else that might work? Possibly CLR? Thank you.
Multi-Etch is much safer than Whink (which has hydrofluoric acid in it) and is available from The Ring Lord in Canada.
So you have to etch any part with whink before you annodize regardless of it's finish?
Sup nice vid
Thanks for watching
Love your vids no matter what you post. But yoyos are the main reason I watch❤❤
Very nice. I have a question, can you do it the other way around, green on blue?
What do people use for the power source? Something that you can control the voltage etc. like what Dylan here is using.
Very cooool
Great!!!!
Yo man, thanks for doing this. I'm about to give it a go myself. Wondering what you use or what your procedure is for cleaning your tub/glass from the Whink for storage and making sure the acid is neutralized? Do you wash it with a baking soda solution? And what type of gloves are you using? Necessary to use a respirator? I don't want to take any chances. Thanks.
First of all you should never put it in a glass or ceramic container since it's hydrofluoric acid which reacts with those things. Just put it in a plastic container which won't react at all, that's why its sold in a plastic bottle
I’m looking to do this too. I’ve heard the room may need ventilation. Should a room used for anodizing have good ventilation to send the fumes outside?
Will muriatic acid work like the rust remover?
N9ce video but what us the point of using the rust remover before you do the ano with the power supply? I've watched a few videos so far and they just clean the Ti and then go straight to the ano part, no use of rust remover /acid.
Would really appreciate a response. Thank you.
It opens the pores on the metal if you skip this step it will turn out like shit and won't be vibrant
Would it fade over time? I’ve done this before without much thought or the right tools. With a drill battery salt and baking soda.
Hey Dylan awesome vid! Could You please help me out ?! I'm thinking on getting the
Wanptek NPS1003D Power supply and would appreciate Your thoughts on it being my first to get into anodizing...wanted to get Yours but it's easier for me to get it on ebay !
Anyways, thanks for Your time !
Did you ever get it and where did you order it?
What kind of water are you anodizing in? Is this pure water with some salt in the bottom to make it slowly conduct?
Yo Big D i have a question. You did a trick at worlds that my friend videoed . Yall were outside and you landed the yoyo on your left hand and i believe you were trying to catch it in a loop. I could be doing a terrible job of describing it but if that trick has a name let me know. Thanks for your time bud.

@@DylanKowalski123 Thanks bud. I just made an Instagram account so I can show you a pic of how sick that bazooka blue looks on my Ducc Darkwing edition(pink splash). So beautiful lol
@@JoeyandAbby awesome tag me
What does acetone do to the anodization? You're using non- acetone np remover, I was just curious.
Thank you for not calling it frisbee golf
What if you don't sand it?
What was your electrolyte colour ion and what wire did you use to hang your parts off of
I cant find your power supply
Just wondering what power supply you use. im getting into anodizing and im finding it hard to get a good power supply that can run to 100vcd
Great tutorial. I can’t wait to try it again in a cano pattern.
Why not use liquid paper??? Will that not work in place of nail polish???
I noticed you did one with bead blast and remove it with sand paper. How des it compare to something that wasn't original sand-blasted?
I didn't bead blast I dont own a blaster
Hi , I would ask you about the powder in the solution ? Is it stannous sulfate?
Jeff Goldblum is that you?
I’m not sure if I missed something but what acid did you use for the anodizing part? Or was that the rust stain remover?
It's Whink brand rust remover. Primary ingredient is hydroflouric acid - nasty stuff. Can cause chemical burns, and will soak down to your bones and cause issues. This guy is WAY too willy nilly with it. Not even supposed to put it in glass.
But it works fantastic for etching before anodizing Ti.
14:55 you sounded like Jesse Pinkman xD
Agustín Espino holy shit he did lol
Purple my titanium.....bitch!
can you just do the rust remover and thats it, will it last??
After applying the nail polish, dont we need to clean them again with Whink? without cleaning again wouldn't the color turn out dull?
No whink will strip ano you just did off. That's why you wear gloves after doing the whink so you don't get oil from skin on it
@@DylanKowalski123 Thank you! I tried the similar process but the color turns out really dull, how should I fix that? I think I'm missing the whink wash at the beginning (to remove existing oxidized layer), but I'm also trying to partially mask it, then how to mask it and not get the making washed off by whink wash? or should I do a "base ano" for the whole thing like you did?
@@syncprism6283 just whink first
What chemicals did you use sir? Can i have the list of materials you used. Thanks a lot
rawr meow
Howdy doody! From what I personally use is:
1. Whink Rust Remover (removes anodized colors)
2. Baking soda powder
3. Distilled water (has to be distilled)
4. Volt machine (or 9V batteries, I use these)
5. Titanium wire
6. Small gator clamps
Also; highly recommend using light colored nail polish... I made a mistake of using red nail polish and it smeared all over to light pink on my titanium! White and or cream colored should be good to use
@@doanerific9908 why does it have to be distilled?
@@NotAFed_ From my understanding on anodizing, it has to be distilled because there's no mineral substances added, but plain straight water. I haven't tried anodizing it with purified water WITH substances.
All I see are 30 volt options on Amazon. Is that good?
helpful
You don't have to take off the bead blast... the ano still looks good on a bead blast imo.
was that a stainless steel spoon in the bin?
It does look like a regular spoon. I thought you had to use titanium
Dope as fuck
How are the pivots? Are they rougher because of the ano?
The power supply in the link is not the same as what you use in the video.
Can you do this with yoyos, or just balisongs?
+Dominik Mierzwiak anything that is titanium. Does not work on non magnetic metals
@@DylanKowalski123 ok, thanks for responding. Btw. When it comes to that splash, will it effect talon grinds, finger spins and stuff like that?
@@dominick7241 no it feels the same as the finish did before you ano it
Sir dylan meaning you cant anodize plain steel? Only titanium?
What’s the powder in the bottom of the ano bath?
Does this same proses also work with steel? I plan on doing this on some gun parts and was wondering if this works on steel.
No. Only titanium
How can i remove the anodize??
+Dnarx wink rust stain remover
@@DylanKowalski123 Can i anodized the four liners at the same time? And how can i see the number "0.1" (to take out the liner from the water) if i am using regular batteries?
Can anyone please tell me the composition of electrolyte ?
Yo dylan does it work on aluminum
You should not have that much tsp at the bottom. It should be dissolved
Hy Dylan
Ive watched several videos on anodizing titanium and in ever on they use titanium wire for the positive lead but they dont say why or maybe more importantly where to even find one... I went to every hardware store in Oceanside and I could not find titanium wire... Only thing I found was people looking at me funny because whats the point of using titanium wire..? If you are looking for conductivity look no further than copper. So why titanium wire..?
You can use copper
Why do people use dye
What does it take to annodize something like stainless steel or aluminum?
Same process just baking pwder or salt and get alligator clips and hook it up to 9v batteries
What material is the spoon?
Anyone tried it with aluminium Anodizing?
9:27 pull it out slowly
If I wanted to this to be more "shiny" or "glossy" what would you recommend? I know this is a dated video and you might not respond but I want this look to be more vibrant.
Any info would be appreciated :)
Might be able to polish it
Hand polish your parts first
cool vid but you really shouldn't stick your fingers in the rust remover. even with gloves. it contains hydrofluoric acid which is REALLY gnarly stuff. i usually put each part on a small titanium wire and etch it while holding the wire above the surface to avoid exposure to the dilute HF. you also shouldn't use the rust remove indoors without proper ventilation. the fumes can cause lung irritation
do you know if there exist an alternative for rust remover?
will this work with a steel one? is there a way to do this to a steel ones
No
@@DylanKowalski123 gotcha! thanks, i’ll use paint😂
How high or low do you go for the red??
Titanium can't do red
What's the liquid the powder is in? Is it water?
Distilled water
what's that machine called that makes the voltage?
Bench top power supply.
What model # is the wanptek
would a couple 9 v batterys work as a power supply?
sure will! make sure to look up the chart
Yes but it will only anodized to9v color and nothing more obviously
Does this work with aluminum?
No
You have to dye anodized aluminum it's got a few more steps than this but also very easy to DIY
anyone know what his power supply is?
+Chris Weston kps1203d
I'm still lost. You need to explain better. Like how you know what volts give you what color. And what the hell your doing. Like how to set up all the electrical stuff what what your dipping it in
I'll help you.
Cant you get all those colors within 0-20 volts? Why do you go to 50+ ??
Good pinks and purple need like 70 and up
I want my mini click from big idea designs to look like this but it's stonewashed and I don't have the stuff to do this but man I'd pay good money
