I read this somewhere but for the life of me can't find anything to counter or verify. I also can't find an SDS on leatherette. I have a large request for leatherette engravings. Any special prep-work?

I vent outside but it's still a concern. It's leatherette from JDS if that matters. I'm on hold with them right now.
Edit: Just spoke to them, no SDS. Hmmm he said it wasn't pvc.

More of these are vinyl than not but I believe the JDS items are safe.

they market it FOR laser engraving. Will assume they've done testing and their customers have run enough it were a problem it would have been pulled. Been around over two years at least. (that I've seen it advertised by them) I've run some, but darn it smells. and BTW, my fiber does a nicer job than my chinese co2 on it. especially small details.

I think he's asking because someone posted a few photos of some screws inside and out of their machine rusting and they were told that it was being caused by engraving the Leatherette material.
