Customer Tricks of the Trade

Our laser users are constantly finding new techniques to achieve better engraving results. We'll be featuring these tips in this new section of the e-newsletter. Have a tip? Send it to amyd@epiloglaser.com for possible inclusion in our next e-newsletter!

This month's tip comes from Doug Green of Marble Falls, Texas.

Doug tells us to achieve smooth and frosty glass engravings he passes on using dishwashing detergent or a wet paper towel to defer heat. Instead, he runs the glass at the appropriate speed and power settings and after it's complete he lightly rubs the area with a Micro-Mesh pad. The pack features 10 different grits, and Doug recommends the 12000 grit to do the glass.
"The pad will not scratch the glass and removes any rough spots from the engraving, leaving it as smooth as the glass was before. And it only takes about five seconds!"
