Awesome product and explanation.. ❤

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

Thank you so much. I’m glad you think so. ❤️

[@brandonw5801]

👍👍

[@vodkataina]

Awesome, Where you find the stand for the 3M?

[@ACOBRAGOD]

How do you add the sticky pads to the finished product? I made some similar and just pealed off the back paper and stuck it but over time it came off.

[@Mariee1106]

Hola Emily, what is your focus when scoring? Gracias

[@katielawrence123]

Where do you purchase your acrylic? I’ve had a hard time finding colored acrylic.

[@yolandapedraza115]

what's the paper you cover the wood with? it looks like it's some kind of protection just like the acrylic. Also, do you have any problems with glue or something in the middle of the wood you cut? I've been trying to cut my wood, but even when I set it to char because I'm frustrated, some parts are still not cut all the way through.

[@tricia101692]

this is maybe my 7th video now - so much to learn. very very cute product but it looks like it took a lot of time I will keep watching. Is there any tutorials on the actual design process. I don't feel like I can come up with anything original.

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

Oh my word. That is one of the best compliments you could give me. Thank you so very much for watching! I'm afraid I don't have anything specifically on designing from scratch but I can add it to my long list of videos to get to. ;)

[@salenasoria6842]

When you score the name or personalization do you make that score slightly smaller then the item you will be placing over it (i.e. the name)? I want to score a name for my project that is on clear acrylic so I can place my letters perfectly but the score line exactly outlines my cut out mirror letters that I place on top.

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

Yes! That’s exactly what to do. 💪🏼

[@salenasoria6842]

@@ThatMomWithALaser thank you! May I also ask, I have a Mira 9 and use lightburn like you. I am also using cursive font like you showed in this video. Is there somewhere you can guide me to know what boundaries to follow to not make the word too small but just enough where you still won't see it with the acrylic on top?

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

@@salenasoria6842 I sure can. I have an old TikTok on it. When I find it I’ll link it here 😀

[@edwardpataroque5450]

What font did you use?

[@ChrisBo]

How did you color the letters? I saw the gorilla tape on them, but I was stuck a bit! Keep up the good job!

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

Thank you! There’s no painting involved because I used acrylic 😍

[@ChrisBo]

​@@ThatMomWithALaser dummy me! Still learning, thanks!

[@micahc2340]

How thick of acrylic did you use? Thanks!

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

1/8”

[@candacemartin4629]

I notice you don't use the honeycomb tray. Is there a time where it is needed vs not needed? I'm a new Mira 9 user and have only done on honeycomb tray.

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

Great question. It's not required. I only use the honeycomb for small cuts. I prefer to cut on the blades mostly because they are easier to clean. :)

[@candacemartin4629]

@@ThatMomWithALaser Makes sense! Thank you!

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

@@candacemartin4629 any time ❤️

[@user-vc5on9et7s]

where do you get the stand that holds the 3M roll

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

I get it from amazon. You can find it in Must Have Laser Supplies in my amazon store. www.amazone.com/shop/thatmomwithalaser

[@OnTheLakeFishing]

I think my confusion was going from the GF to the Mira was GF called it score and then I was freaking out because I couldn’t find “score”!on the Mira menu!

[@sharynochoa5963]

Can you put links to the supplies you use too please? Thanks!!

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

Woops! Thank you for catching that. I just updated the description. :)

[@reneechapman3270]

Where do you purchase your rolls of 3M?

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

I get the roll from www.crazylaserdad.com

[@LuvinNappy]

I notice you use the Mira 7 alot vs the Mira 9. Is there a reason?

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

I use the 7 because that's what I have. :)

[@LuvinNappy]

@@ThatMomWithALaser Oh i thought you had a 9 as well. Sorry

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

@@LuvinNappy No need to apologize. Most people think I do haha
