We use many different techniques to create or bring out the cool and unique looks that these materials can have. Some of our techniques are:

  • Acid etching

  • Torch flaming

  • Oven cooking

  • Chemical anodizing

  • Electro anodizing

I hope to, at some point, share some of these techniques in videos in the blogs so keep watch for that.

Feel free to ask any questions about the materials. It is always fascinating to see what info people are interested in hearing about.
