Color filling laser engraved plywood with Pro-Tec Powder Paint

Color fill with Pro-Tec Powder Paint post laser engraving

[@johnhise4225]

I will have to agree on using a heat gun. I initially tried the laser approach for melting, and made a test matrix to find the best settings. I thought I had it figured out, but when doing the actual project where the engraving were much larger than the little test squares, I got results that looked yours. I have no idea how other folks make this work, but the heat gut is much more controllable, and works on much larger areas.

@@johnhise4225 I very much agree! My husband wants to buy a toaster oven (a big one) for projects that will fit in it. He says that that industrial applications of this stuff are cured in big ovens. We are running out of space!

Try letting it cool completely before removing the masking tape. I have learned that the edges turn out crisper. Have fun!

Heat gun . Works

It does; it works better than using the laser for sure but still doesn’t render an optimal finish. We have come to prefer epoxy; this video is one of the earliest in our laser adventures. There is always something new to learn.
