I know it can be cut. Not looking at that. What I would like to do is put a "White" mark on some Santoprene parts. Has anyone done this, and if so, are you using a CO2 or fiber....and any chance of sharing the settings you used.

Thanks,

Doug

After a little research--

Santoprene is injection mold-able, and is used mainly as seals (cars, washing machines, etc), and is predominately EPDM rubber with polypropylene mixed in. I doubt very much any C02 laser will make a WHITE mark. Fiber, maybe...?

You need fiber for that...
