Did you ever have one of those times when you wondered about lasering something and how it would turn out.
I thought it was going to cut it, instead it bubbled up and the lettering was raised.

Hi Bill, I have to be honest and say that I did this about a week after I got my machine, you know..... 'give it a go'. I got the same results, raised and not sunken which at first had suprised me. I mentioned it to a friend of mine and he said, "Haven't you ever microwaved a piece of soap?" - the result apparently is quite spectacular. I didn't try that though, I try to keep away from soap, it makes you smell nice.

I guess I will have to see what happens when you microwave soap. I figured if I made something nice on the soap my wife would want to save it and not make me use it

When we got our Universal we did smiley faces out of baloney. Looked cute - tasted horrible.
Another interesting thing about soap though. We use it on leather and wood to mask with - get the bar a little wet and make the surface pasty then rub the soap paste on to the piece and laser away. Then just wash the soap residue off and you have a clean piece.
You can get the soap wet? Won't that make it go away? Seriously, going to have to try your idea about masking with it. The soap is still sitting there, makes a good conversation piece.
