Is Ebonite laser safe ?
I had a customer asking me to engrave a comb, it is made out of Ebonite - has anybody engraved that material yet ?

Ebonite is just hard rubber, isn't it? On this side of the Atlantic, the name is more closely associated with bowling balls than hair care products.
Ah yes, here it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebonite ...says the combs have been around since the mid-1800's.

Yes, Lee that's the material. I gave it a try on a small piece and it smells like burned tires - I just wanted to make sure it is safe to engrave before I do a lot of them
btw my bowling ball says Ebonite on it, doesn't bounce though

Perfectly 'safe', just not particularly pleasant.
