Hello and thank you for your video! I went to your link and I'm a little confused with the brand of masking. Is it the transfer tape? The Vinyl Ease brand? I really need to get some masking! Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Cori - did you see that the Vinyl Ease description says it’s not for use with any laser cutters or engravers? Do you have another transfer tape you can recommend?
Can you use the Xtool S1 to cut clear acrylic if you mask it? I am debating as to which one to purchase. I'd prefer the S1 vs the P2 due to size but I want to be able to cut clear acrylic in order to make those shakable Christmas ornaments.
Unfortunately no. You can engrave it but as far as I know, there's no way to cut clear acrylic with a diode laser yet (maybe there will be in the future, but that remains to be seen!).
Hello! I bought some acrylic from Michael's craft store to try cutting some for the first time on my Glowforge Pro. The acrylic came with plastic layer already on both sides. Is that considered pre-masked or would you take that off and put on a separate masking?
I use these weeding pens from Amazon and I love them. The tip is so tiny, it makes it more difficult to scratch your piece :) 2 Pieces Weeding Pen Vinyl Pen Pin Weeding Tool Fine Point Weeding Tool Glitter Metal Vinyl Air Release or Car Puncturing Installation Retractable Craft Vinyl Tool for DIY(Black, White) a.co/d/iQ5SCK3
Love the unmasked as much as masked. The unmasked gives a bold look.
Yes! It's definitely personal preference!
Thank you for your time. 💪🏾🐲
Thank you for watching!

VinylEase should work! I'm using TapeManBlue, but I think they are essentially the same thing. Good luck!

I've used this brand! amzn.to/3OV00Rg (affiliate link)
Can you use the 3M adhesive with 1/4 inch thick wood? To adhere pieces? Thanks!
@@joannenagano3083 Yes!

That's a type of masking. You can usually leave it on unless you find that it melts or flames up.
Hi! Have you actually used the Vinyl Ease Paper Masking on your own projects?
I haven't! Sorry!
The transfer tape in your "store" says specifically not for lasers.
Ah, thanks for letting me know! I will update my link with one specifically for lasers.
what best laser to get
It really depends on your needs, space, and budget!
