Hi All

There are a couple of things that I'm trying to find a good uk supplier for , so hoped some of the UK guys on here might know.

1) the red (or green?) film that is applied to glassware,...

I have a Bofa AD Oracle which is a handy height to put the laptop on, I got this as part of a 'deal' with Epilog and seems to do a great job.

I'm in uk so probably not a great deal of help, but...

I'll let you know :-)

I'm not 100% sure what I need (hence wanting someone to ask) I want to stick some 3mm acrylic letters to a backing board (biggest is 3" tall so not heavy. I got the impression that the solvent was...

As title really - I need to find a reliable supplier of glue for acrylic in th eUK (I'd rather buy from a company who I can talk so I get the right products rather than buying from an ebay shop)
...

I got a sample of the Trotec product called Laserflex. I found that I could raster a very detailed logo and then apply to fabric, so perfect for a job I get annually which is a real pain to weed out....

Agree with that - I've seen some glass at a recent demo and a nice smooth effect with quite good detail (also seen some really bad examples as well). It's a different finish I think, probably the...

You'd be amazed what will withstand sandblasting whilst still allowing the glass to be quite deeply marked. Bearing in mind the first masks were made from tissue paper glued onto the glass,...

I worked with S02 (amongst other things) in the chemical industry a few years back and we had simple water scrubbers to remove noxious gases, might be worth looking into getting one of those made as...

thats looks good Vic thanks.

Ive had a good result with a machine demo and I used Brazilian slate as I had some handy from a patio job. The Welsh looks a lot better so need to get some of that...

thanks chaps - I'll pick up a few next time I have a 'missing' session and give it a go then. We tend to use the black ones here with an occasional red exploding one which wins you a bottle of wine...

Has anybody tried engraving onto the 'clays' that are used at clay pigeon shoots?

I don't know what they are made of I'm afraid.

I've been asked whether it would be possible to use them to make...

That looks like a good result Julian , plus thinking outside the box��

how about clickin/joining/glueing a couple of boards together and putting them in a suitable sized timber frame? (To keep...

Hi Julian

are those floorboards awaiting laying or do you cut them in the laser for your signs etc? ( just being nosey :-)

Thanks Dave (as ever)

I have a sample coaster that has been lasered with a logo. Looked great initially, but the artwork is easily removed.

A bit of a scratch with a fingernail and the artwork comes off, like it was...

I'd second the option of using parallels (or the other one - whose name I forget) its not much money to install. Obviously the idea of buying a mac is to go with mac programs but as we have...

I picked up what looked like a good brochure at Trophex show, I have to say I haven't bought from them yet but they have a big range from plastic to optical crystal. Not sure about delivery charges...

I know this is am old thread, but I saw a very interesting write up by rabbit laser (on their website) which explained in some detail how this can be set up in software (engraving on longer objects...

That looks good Julian - nice a clean

- the ones I'm looking at have a bit less contrast on the grain - never considered B&Q, might pay them a visit,I'll bet they have other woods as well. I seem...

Thanks for the replies chaps - that sounds like a resounding yes. The signs look great.

the stuff I'm talking about I believe is French Oak, it's got a nice figure and by the looks of it a tight...

I did a search for oak , but seems its too short search on :confused:

I have access to a quantity of solid oak floorboards (new) and wondered if they would be any good laser onto? They appear to...

Some great tips on here chaps - thanks for taking the time to put them up, its just remembering them now :-) Been using Corel for a number of years and haven't even scratched the surface of it, as I...

Your'e a star - where would be be without helpful chaps like Dave!

Could you let me have address and I'll post some off tomorrow - be nice to know that it works :-)

Hi All

Would anyone in the UK be able to try a sample material for me please.

I'm trying to get it tested at a supplier before I press the button on purchase (it needs to do this thing to...
