Hi All,
If someone can help me out, I'd really appreciate it!
I have been trying to figure out how to make my own "laser ready" wood to keep the costs down and also make larger pieces to use. You know, the kind that has a finish already on it that is easy to simply wipe off the residue you get after lasering. Anyone out there with some suggestions?
I've tried poly, but it cracks and the residue then gets under the poly. Don't really want to do lacquer as it is nasty stuff and I'm not set up to do anything like that anyway. I know that Colorado Heirloom uses two coats of CAB acrylic lacquer on their boards, and suspect that Laserbits does the same and others, too.
I'm looking for some way that's less toxic and more human friendly, but that after lasering, the residue can just be wiped away with a damp cloth or one with a little furniture polish or something on it.
Thanks,
Linda
