|  tips for bending titanium
I'm looking at putting a bend in my TI links and I was wondering if there were any tips that will help. I friend mentioned that heat might help, but he wasn't sure. Thanks  |

I know they heat titanium lips on wheels to turn em multicolored so I'd say heat won't hurt em an should help w bending.

Just bend it... you will need to exert a little more force on it but that is it. There will also be a slight bit of spring back so you will have to take it slow To get them precise. Don't use heat! |

That's funny! I usually just hit something really hard. Of course, controlling the bend is a little dicey. I usually end up having to try with new parts.  Seriously, if you use heat, apply it carefully. The heating is not the problem. It is cooling once complete that can cause you headaches. Cooling too fast can make it brittle. | |
