Has anyone used Cermark LMM14 or any other marking solution on iron? I found a PDF that includes iron as a compatible substrate. I have a one-off request to do a shot put ball and don't have any LMM14 in house. I've been using dry moly and LMM6000 for metals. Not sure I want to buy a bottle of LMM14 for one small project unless it's got advantages over the 6000 formula that I can leverage in the future. Thanks in advance. -Brett

LMM14 works great on Stainless Steel if you have that coming down the pike. I use on my RTIC, JDS cups and no issues at all, good black. BTW, I tried Lasermark again and it turned brown, so I'm shelving that for now.
I've done some steel, but not specifically Iron. Don't know why it wouldn't work.

There is no reason that LMM6000 wouldn't. I've used it on cast iron.

Lasermark or LaserBond? The former I know as a sheet material and latter is the marking fluid.
