Yeah, mix it up, turn on compressor, find air bush, pour mixture in air brush, adjust air brush, spray 2 parts, wait for parts to dry or use hair dryer, place in laser and lase. While the lasers running, dump material back in container, clean out air brush, lasers done, clean parts, dry parts....20 minutes later I've made about $3.00. (I'm really not in a bad mood, I promise)
It works if you have hundreds of parts to do, I rarely get that many, maybe in the future I will. I've tried metal marking materials every which way and you have to look close at your time. I still use Cermark in the little sample bottle I got 6 years ago for one of my items. I've filled the bottle up about 10 times now. The Cermark drys a lot faster than Thermark.
