@LaserNoob
@LaserNoob 8 ай бұрын
I do not have a 20w diode, so i can't give you that answer. I always suggest that you do a speed/power test, even if using the same wattage laser I have/use. My 5/10/33/36W lasers may be more or less powerful than the exact same laser someone else has. With that said, I do mention the settings I used on the 10W in the video. Best of luck!

Of course the lines are more crisper on the one with the tempera paint because the dpi settings are higher than the one on the galvi...Galvenized paint can come with water also, water and scotch pad.The best way to do these,or even for tiles too...Is to let the tempera or the paint dry for 24hrs before engraving...If you dry it with a heat gun it looks dry but not completely dry...All in all great video!!

@geraldlamothe6091 Жыл бұрын
May I add that if you use flat black high heat paint the kind used to paint stove pipes...You will be amazed by the color the etching will leave...It will come out either dark gold or a bronze color. It is very important to let the paint dry 24hrs before etching. Do a test pattern to see all the different shades.

I usually use the cold galvanising. But I'm not sure why you need the chem to clean up the cold galv. I use water and it easily cleans off glass. I'd say it comes off as easy as the tempura maybe even easier. I'll need to look at my test grids again. Some how I didn't notice that the cold galvanising was so much slower.

If you coat one piece of glass with paint and then place a second piece of glass on top of the first piece, you can slowly drag the top piece of glass sideways toward you, keeping it flat until it comes all the way off the bottom piece. The entire top of the bottom piece of glass will now have a completely smooth and even, coating of paint on it.
