Drulee Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 OxiClean (OxyClean?) is used to give Titanium a darker finish, supposedly making it look more like the metal Tantalum (a.k.a. Tantalium). The process has been done a few times by various members, just do a search for both spellings of the "Oxy" product, and you will find the threads in question.

bertieng Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Interesting. Will Oxyclean attacks polished surfaces and the AR on sapphire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertieng Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Apart from Oxiclean, how about Clorox since the main ingredient is also sodium percarbonate & sodium carbonate as mentioned on the packing. Any one tried? Why I ask is that Oxiclean is at nowhere available in where I live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertieng Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Yes, I guess so. Recall ajoesmith mentioned sometime ago using napisan, Since oxiclean is not sold in my country, but Napisan is available - advertised for soaking baby clothes. So, napisan = oxiclean?
