How would you go about adding a second color to the engraved/inset? Say you did the silver in the engrave and wanted to make the surface level Blue?
@TrotecLaser10 күн бұрын
You'll need to engrave the product while it's tightly positioned against the rulers to ensure proper alignment. After engraving, remove the product and apply the foil into the engraved area, removing any excess. Then, place the product back into the machine in the exact same position and engrave the next section. Repeat this process as needed. The key is to always position the product or material in the same spot, usually tight against the ruler, to ensure consistency throughout.

How does it stay on the leather? You didn’t seal it in any way.
@TrotecLaser2 ай бұрын
Laser Foil has a permanent adhesive that will continue to bond better with time; if it is going to be on something that will be handled a lot, it may need to be sealed to make it even more durable as this is a surface adhesive material, I did not seal this example in the video.
@bryanschannel96002 ай бұрын
How durable and permanent is the laser foil on wood or acrylic? Seems it peels off easily after each project meaning that the other foil might come off easily over time?
@TrotecLaser2 ай бұрын
This material becomes more robust with time. After a few days, it is bonded tight and becomes very challenging to remove from any smooth surface like finished wood or acrylic. It is a surface material, making it less durable than a paint fill. It is more prone to scratching, so I would not use this on something that is going to be handled every day, like a tumbler, yes it will work, but it will not hold up to the punishment of a dishwasher and cup holders; this material works best for things like ornaments, signage, and decor.

Hi Dave. Great video content. May I ask an extension to your sub-surface foiling use-case? Can this be applied to an embossed design which recedes below the material surface level. If so, is the a limit to the resolution of the details? Thank you.
@TrotecLaser2 ай бұрын
This process should work; however, the depth and detail must be kept within certain limits. Excessive detail may cause the process to fail, so I would advise some testing on some scrap materials to find your limits.
@jamesh36022 ай бұрын
@@TrotecLaser As an alternative, would precious metal (e.g., gilding), with or without a spray adhesive allow better preservation of embossed details. Would you follow that with an epoxy topcoat to increase durability?
@TrotecLaser2 ай бұрын
I have tried this, but it is far more complex. Gilding is more of an art form, and it takes practice. The laser cannot cut real metals, so it would have to be completed by hand into the engraving with a mask down into the engraved material surface. And yes, it needs to be clear-coated for protection.
@lawdg81452 ай бұрын
cool video. Isn't the foil going to peel off the leather binder though? How are you going to protect the bond?
@TrotecLaser2 ай бұрын
This material becomes more robust with time. After a few days, it is bonded tight and becomes very challenging to remove from any smooth surface, including smooth surface leather. As I said in the video, adding a clear sealant will improve durability, but this was not shown in the video on the leather. However, note that this is a "surface material," making it less durable than a paint fill or just engraving it. Because of this, it is more prone to scratching and damage.
