A few words of caution, vector cut it with the abrasive side facing away from the laser beam. Cut it with the adhesive side up/facing you. On my Epilog 40W, I cut it with 50% speed, 100% power, and Frequency of 3360.

Thanks for the replies.msds dosent seem to say anything about it being bad to cut.Why cut it with the rough side down?It is a rbber like material on top.
thanks

I did cut some today.2 passes with low power .I tryed in one pass but it melted the edge to much .The design is a bit complicated and the client would like it to stay on the carier sheet and I had to cut it topside and weed it .I am using a $32 ebay lens to cut it so not much worry if it gets stuff on it i suppose.
