    Larry,

    I tried it out. Cut the tool, cut some pieces of Romark and it worked perfectly. Great idea. Thanks for sharing.

    For all that I know there is so much more to learn.

    I use the spay bootle "Goo be gone"

    When doing Rowmark, especially engraving white letter on blue background, I remove the plastic and I engrave bottom to top so blue removed doesn't hit the white letters and then when I'm done, I just spray some goo be gone on a rag and give each tag a wipe.

    Works real well for me. I find it's better than trying to take the plastic off after the fact.

    Darryl- Good advice. I'll try to do that from now on. Thanks!

    Doug- Thanks for trying it and the nice words. We make acrylic earrings and accessories for universities, along with the other normal stuff. The front paper comes off first, but it was always a pain to get the back off those small parts after lasering. It's fun to come up with solutions.
