Now this should not be that hard, but I just started to add plaques to my list of can do's.....But can I??
The first job I took on was for 6 plaques 8 X 8 plates on a wooden base.
Lasering went OK.
Applied "Plaque tape" to cover the 2 verticale edges
Searched past posts to get ideas on how to line things up, picked one and folowed that.
Looked great when I was done, customer loved them.
One week later 3 of the plates fell off???
Now I re-called all the plaques.
I know I have to replace the plates that fell off, as they are bent from falling and I want them to be good, BUT....I do not want any more to fall off.
What went wrong? The tape stayed on the plate and the wood is clean as can be. Do I need to prepare the wood first? Is the finish to slippery? I got the wood from JDS.
Are there better tapes, got this from LaserBits.
Thanks for any idea's on this. (If you know of other hidden dangers to watch for, feel free to share that as well.)
