I'm just getting started in laser cutting, what wood is best used when spray painting and is that 1/8 or 1/4 inch. Thank you, I'm glad I found your channel to help me along here.

[@jessetutterrow4320]

I would use the 1/8-inch. You have three layers and if you used the 1/4-inch it would be too thick and heavy.

[@DiabloHVAC]

@@jessetutterrow4320 Thanks. That what I was thinking.

[@teardrops7841]

So gorgeous!

[@laurastewartstudio2374]

I love these. I do have a question. I image people would like to hang these outside, does it need to be sealed with something?

[@thatlaserdude]

I recommend people only putting them under covered porches. I have seen them hold you well that way. I’d seal it with urethane anyways. But I still wouldn’t put direct outdoors.

[@karenhadden4980]

@@thatlaserdude make sure it’s water based urethane or it will look yellow from the oil! Ask me how I know lol

[@thatlaserdude]

@@karenhadden4980 how do you know how? 🤣🤣

The edges of the cut pieces will be black from the laser. When you spray paint how do you avoid paint splatter getting on the edges?

[@thatlaserdude]

@@jessetutterrow4320 I have never to this day. Had a customer complain about some of the overspray. But if I do want a perfectly clean finish on the edges, you can take some dark stain or paint. It’s just a lot more work.

Awesome! How much would you sell these for, and where in Ont can you get that Flame paint? I always ruin spray paint by not clearing the sprayer :/

[@thatlaserdude]

I sell them for $100. Bombingscience.com for the paint

[@craig4451]

How do you get an even spray if item is horizontal? I can only get decent coverage if item is vertical,,,

[@thatlaserdude]

You should always spray with the product lying down to avoid runs

[@TetraCNC]

What do you use to glue them together, I know wood glue does not stick to the paint.

[@thatlaserdude]

I use wood glue. Titebond. Works great

[@mcclarnon1974]

how do u split the image to make em in to 2 pieces, i use lightburn

[@thatlaserdude]

It’s part of the file I design. I provide a split version to make it larger and a regular version. Art is strategically done to make the split abs hide the seam, So not as easy as just splitting it. I use Adobe illustrator 🙂

[@michaelbielan3056]

Where can the Flame Orange paint be purchased in North America?

[@thatlaserdude]

Bombingscience.com
