    I discovered this a few months back. After experimenting with many colors I just gave up on white. The yellow too. No matter what focal length. I use. Could be the powder I got. Your white looks chunky like mine does. Not sure how I haven’t seen your video yet. Lol. I’ve been having a blast with colors last while. It really is a game changer.

    What a great video - Thanks for spending the time to put it together. Really appreciated the additional color mixing bonus tip. We also have the 100W Thunder. We really like it.

    You can also try just using a heat gun on the lowest setting and you can avoid the wait times. You will need a hair of sanding if you left some loose powder outside of your design.

    Good morning I have watched your video about 3 to 4 times trying to catch which type of powder coat you are using. I see epoxy, and acrylic... Which one works the best and which do you recommend?

    have you tried adhering a thin layer of masking tape over your pieces before you use the laser? that'd prevent the powder getting into cracks in the work piece

      We haven’t found need for it. Most of our stuff is sealed ahead of time. If using raw wood, it’s a great idea.

    Hi everyone, there is a much easier way to do this. Just remove as much as you can and use a heat gun on low, or the broiler or a toaster oven. No worrying about power or alignment. Then just lightly sand when done.

    Couple of questions...
    Is the powder coat hardwearing and have you tried masking off before the initial engraving make the final clean up easier ?

    • @kaylalewis6042

    Hi, I am using a 5.5W laser (Sculpfun) at the following settings: Speed: 2000mm/min and Power: 60% but on the second pass (burning the powdered ink), all the powder disappears with the laser. Could it be that the laser power is too high? Thanks

    • @kaylalewis6042
      @kaylalewis6042  2 года назад

      Yes, red and blue are little more difficult to get off. After it’s done I use brush to get off loose powder then LA awesome and paper towel to remove the red tint. If it still isn’t gone that is when I lightly sand it.

    • @kaylalewis6042
      @kaylalewis6042  2 года назад

      I have never tried leather. It would have to be thick as you need a good groove to make sure powder sets in it.

    • @davem3048

    Generally, you can’t mix powder coat colors. It isn’t like regular liquid paint. Sometimes it will work, but sometimes they won’t mix and you get a blotchy result, even if it’s from the same manufacturer, and they same type of powder (polyester, acrylic, epoxy, etc.).

    • @kaylalewis6042
      @kaylalewis6042  2 года назад +5

      I don't go too deep. Just enough to create a good groove for powder to lay where it doesn't scrape out when I use the card to smooth. Not sure I understand your second question.
