What is the 3m contact paper made of ?I was wondering if it can be laser engraved and used as a sandblast mask?

It works for sandblasting but it really isn't sticky enough on the back to withstand much blasting. Also it is most likely vinyl so it isn't good to cut with the laser. With that said I do use it on ocassion. If you have your power settings correct it cuts very cleanly.

Most contact "paper" is vinyl, but it can vary, you would have to see the MSDS to verify. Transfer tape (really paper) makes a good easily removed mask.
