Ok, until now its all been fun and one-off projects. Now I got the idea to make up a batch of keychains for the range picnic next weekend. I wanted to cut 49 out of some 12x12 ply I had. Good plan, I thought.
I first covered the entire sheet with masking tape. Wide roll. I had to put like 4 or 5 strips across to cover the board. Got that done. Now in the laser for engraving and cutting. Ok, that went ok. Didn't take long either.
Then I spend like 3 hours peeling masking tape off each individual keychain. There must be a better way, and faster. I would like something I can go get from a local store as I don't have time to order and get it shipped here and get more made by Saturday.
So, what is a better way to protect the surface of the plywood from smoke damage/coloring? I am open to any suggestions. I just got back from Home Depot with a load of plumbing fixtures to make my water cooling more finished (mounting els and nipples on the bucket lid) and professional looking. I also picked up a ball valve and two barbs to allow me to adjust the airflow to the head. I still didn't get parts for the air accumilator. They were out of brass barbs.
So any thoughts on different techniques or different tape or other surface protector preferably with a local source?
