So we finally ran out of our CerMark, and I needed to order more, which I did. I'm lasering brush stainless. They sent Thermark LMM14.A6 Black instead.
My air-brush master/sprayer guy liked the spray can, but boy, was it scary to use for the first time. Why? It looks totally different!
The CerMark is sandy yellowy, the Ther is silver. The CerMark can't be wiped off with your finger, the TherMark can be wiped off with just a touch. NerveWracking....
Yes, the pieces were completely cleaned, I've used the CerMark all year, and have loved it so far, although towards the end of the CerMark can, I noticed the mark didn't seem quite as black.
After washing off with H20, the CerMark hadn't quite blackened in a spot or two, the TherMark was lovely and black, but the TherMark seemed to "bleed" a little bit. How soon after TherMarking the material can it be washed off? I did it almost immediately, and noticed a bit of black was coming off on my rag.
Was I rushing? That's certainly happened before, my enGRAVErs Disease being the real good rationalization I use. I'm hyperthyroid, I can get pretty intense/tense/whatever:)
My supplier said the TherMark was working really well for them, I phoned him right after we'd sprayed it, cause I really didn't like the wipe with a finger weakness, and that it was a silver colour. Just seemed like I was getting a totally different product, from what I had previously purchased. He said that shouldn't happen, maybe wait a bit. Well, I waited a half hour, the stuff still wiped off with a touch. Lasered anyway, and as I say, the mark is good.
Weird.....
Thanks for any and all thoughts.
Have a nice weekend:)
