Sorry if this is a dumb question but Doe Suede - seems like polyester but no idea if there is PVC or if it will laser nicely. Does anyone know? Has anyone tried the stuff?

I have lasered real suede and the faux (artificial) suede and both work REAL well.
I did 100's of certificates on it for a Steak house group that has an American indian theme ,Also cut em in an irregular shape , like an animal hide. we rolled em up and bound em with a strip of suede and a wax seal to look like those old parchment type rolls. You need VERY little power to engrave and cut the artifical stuff.

Thanks Rodne
I guess I've just been scared into the mentality of 'anything that could have pvc in it probably does' but I suppose it woudn't make much sense to try to make a soft suede out of vinyl...

Always had the same problem, that I was worried about if it's PVC or not. Look at this thread http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=114701 this solves the problem
