Hi Everyone
Since buying our laser, we have progressed a lot with the operation of our laser. We now know some things we can and cannot do with it and what settings to laser certain things.
At the moment I am doing some timber boxes that we purchased from a wine company in Australia, they were imported from somewhere overseas. You can tell, not very good workmanship. Plus we have no idea of the type of timber. They were Made In China, as the sticker says.
The problem I am having is that when lasered some parts of the lid come out black, other parts white, and other parts striped a mixture of both. What I really want to know, is there anything that we could stick to the timber so that when lasered it cuts through that, then we can spray a paint or something over then peel off, (like a stencil) as to cover the awfull marks of the timber. We tryed masking tape, but that is really awfull stuff to try and peel off.
Any idea would be appreciated
Thanks
Aimee
