Laser etching metal with a CO2 laser cutter requires an etching compound in order to leave a mark. The most popular laser etching compound is a great product called Cermark, but it’s a little pricy. In this video I’ll show you how you can use a can of Industrial Dry Molybdenum (Moly) Lube to achieve similar / adequate results.

One thing I love about woodworkers and metalworkers and all the other similar and allied trades is how there's often a different, creative and perhaps a less expensive way of doing things. And there's always something new to learn. I'm a boatbuilder but today I was learning how to split hazel withies to make woven wooden hurdles. Also got to use one of my favourite tools, the drawknife! I look forward to more of your videos. Keep up the good work!

@FarbulousCreations Год назад

Haha, exactly, Brian! Always multiple ways to do things - some expensive, some cheap, and usually they result in roughly the same outcome so unless you need to do the same "cut" or action or what have you hundreds of times a day and the expensive option makes it easier, let's all remember the "cheap" way. Cheers! 😊

Some motor oils even have molybdenum disulfide in them. It is a friction reducer and is similar to graphite in appearance when in dry form. One brand of oil known for having it is Liqui Moly which is made in Germany

Interesting fact, my Thunder Nova 100 watt at 5 speed and 50% power engraves like a dream on clean stainless steel, no sprays.

@PiggyGamePlay0001 Год назад

A Sharpie marker works just fine to etch dark on metal and stainless steel. I do it all the time.

@FarbulousCreations Год назад

Interesting! I've never tried that, I'll have to give that a try!

What about flat black spray paint?

@cdaemen8801 2 дня назад

Also on brass?

@GCheung55 Год назад

I’d love to see a comparison with Brilliance Metal Laser Spray. It’s cheaper than CerMark by about half.

@FarbulousCreations Год назад

Good call! I’ll add that to my notes! ❤️

@452steve452 2 месяца назад

Can you use black spray paint for reflective surfaces?

Would Black spray paint work?

@FarbulousCreations 10 месяцев назад

I haven't tried on metal, but I'm pretty sure the paint would just get "burnt" off in the area of etching. That said, if you wanted to entirely coat a piece of metal in spray paint and "etch away" the paint to reveal metal, that would work! But not for etching a "positive." Hope that helps!

@@FarbulousCreations I might try this tomorrow. I only just discovered the concept of laser etching with low power lasers, but if it's a case of allowing the heat from the laser to be absorbed more effectively and vaporise the base metal rather than the heat fusing the compounds in the etching spray with the metal I'd imagine anything opaque would work I may be completely wrong about how the process works, I'll update if it's successful!

@cutetoesnewbornphotography303 11 месяцев назад

Have you tried using Molybdenum Disulfide Powder mixing with Acetone and paint it on stainless steel , Im chemical engineer . it save ur money.

@FarbulousCreations 10 месяцев назад

Nice! I'll have to look into that! I'm sure that's what's in the can!

@ShadAnaari-sq1sw 5 месяцев назад

How much should we use each? Please sir ! I really need this

@umamaheshwari5843 15 дней назад

Sir, can u please share me if we can using with any specific composition??

@andrewthomas4482 Год назад

Thanks for the video. i had to look up one of your other videos to find that the co2 laser you're using is 80w. Might be a good idea to include the power in the video for others. Also knowing how long the engraving took would also be help.

@FarbulousCreations Год назад

Hey Andrew, good call! I'll try to be better about having an on-screen info panel that says my tube wattage in addition to the power and speed in future videos. Thanks for the tip! Cheers!
