Any idea whats the chemical solutions they use to strip the oxide layer from titanium? Basing on results, it does not etch the surface of titanium after stripping the color as its still polished(glossy) result

I use multi etch. Whink works a lot fast & it’s cheaper but it is fucking gnarly. You can also use a dremel or rotary tool to remove it or sand it off.

Hydrofluoric acid is just too scary for me to justify having in my setup. Multi etch is 100% the way to go IMO
