Has anyone used cork to laser engrave on? Does it turn out well?
I have experimented a little, use very low power, fast feed to avoid excessive charring of cork. To prevent smearing of lasered surface after engraving due to handling of cork, I sprayed it with a light coat of matte lacquer.
@funinthefalls thanks. I’ll give it a shot and see how it turns out. IKEA has cheap, blank coasters and hot pads made of cork that would make nice laser engraved gifts.
I made my mother a set of coasters for mothers day using dollar stor cork circles, 4 for a dollar.
I would suggest sealing the engrave with a light coat of acryllic clear coat
@Alex_Krause Nice!
Too bad there’s this little line at the bottom, because for the rest it looks brilliant!
