@ClintonCaraway-CNC 3 года назад

What F & S do you use for the 60° v?? Is there a better setting to keep the Oramask from peeling during machining??

@ChristcrossCrafts 3 года назад

@@ClintonCaraway-CNC I've found the solid carbide bits need to have some adjustment or it will "climb" up the bit as it cuts. The single replaceable insert bits do really well with it. The key to keep it from peeling is using a squeegy or other plastic tool to press out all teh air pockets and properly adhere it to the material surface.

@TheLovee4musicc 2 года назад

Does is this stencil good for big signs I saw that some ppl get bubbles?

@ChristcrossCrafts 2 года назад

@@TheLovee4musicc It depends on the material you are putting it on and how well you get it applied. Bubbles typically come from not pressing it on well to get good adhesion to the surface. I've done 24x36 signs with no issues. I've had to overlap my 12" wide material to accomplish it, but again, no issues.

Good tutorial thanks! Out of curiosity, what depth do you use on the CNC cut for signs like this? I tend to go around 3mm, depending on detail etc.

I typically allow the bit and vectors dictate my depth. There are a some projects that you have to determine that but usually go as deep as the bit angle allows.

@davidtrojanowski6910 Месяц назад

Great video, although I do have a couple of questions. 1. What is the v-carve type bit you're using? 2. What is the depth of the cuts? it seems a single v-carve is doing the single job. 3. What seal did you use? Can it be used on paint? I'm trying to paint the wood black, use the oramask to carve out lettering then applying different coloring. but it seems I need to cut them out first? I appricate your time and video. Cheers.

@ChristcrossCrafts Месяц назад

1) that is my go-to 60v bit spectra from Amana 2) they vary based on the width of the font lines. In vectric, it has a toolpath called "v-carve" which bases the depth on font line width, bit used, and depth is varied automatically. 3) any sealer works. If using Lacquer, then seal with lacquer sealer. If something else, shellac works well. Paint or seal, then oramask. Cut out letters for the first color, then reapply oramask. Cut 2nd color, and repeat as needed.

@maxgarcia9512 7 месяцев назад

Nice Video Sir. What type of Oramask did you use? Oramask 813 or 817. I ask because some think the 817 is harder to remove from the material. That might be the answer to save the pain staking task of removing the oramask. I have the 817, so maybe you can help me answer my question as well. Thanks

@ChristcrossCrafts 7 месяцев назад

I used the 813. The 817 is best suited for harsher finishes like lacquers.

@sherrypolley6041 3 года назад

Fantastic! Do you have a recommendation for a colorful paint type for this? Acrylic seems like it wouldn’t be best, perhaps? I prefer a paint-by-hand option rather than spray. Thanks for a Great Super Helpful video!

@ChristcrossCrafts 3 года назад

Thank you for watching. You can use dye stains or any paint really. Dye stains often come in bright colors and there isn't a lack of colorful paint. I use General Finishes Milk Paint quite often myself. It's water-based and dries quickly.

@pmckoy5033 2 года назад

Could you use parking tape, a sticky tape, or something like oracle 651 to remove the vinyl mask quicker instead of so much weeding?

@ChristcrossCrafts 2 года назад

Possibly, but the weeding tool allows you to get the small pieces that are easily missed. If you pressed it on well, then the finish can prevent the tape from getting it all. Plus, sometimes the finish may still be a little wet when you peel it off and the tape won't stick.

@firemanbif 2 года назад

@ChristcrossCrafts 2 года назад

It doesn't leave any residue. I've left it in for 4 days before with no issues. I've adhered it to bare wood, stained, painted, and urethane/lacquer with no problems. The only struggle will be with rough wood. I tried to use it with barnwood and was an epic fail.

@nefertari82 2 года назад

Hi what kind of feedspeed do you have on the vbit? My rpm is 18000 but haven't any luck with the oramask so maybe the feedspeed🤔

@ChristcrossCrafts 2 года назад

there are many factors. Mine is a 3 flute solid carbide and I run it 14-16k rpm and the feed will vary depending on the size of my lettering. I know people who use a standard carbide tipped V and it works for them. The important thing is finding what is right for your machine. It's a combination of rpm and feed rate based on your bit and machine Also, you want to ensure the oramask is pressed onto the surface very well. A clean, well-sanded surface is best.

@HighRPMCreations Месяц назад

You used sanding sealer before the Oramask, but don’t you need to get it into the engraved areas after carving (or did I miss that step)? It seems like stain or paint could get into the newly exposed endgrain and migrate that way.

@ChristcrossCrafts Месяц назад

As long as the top is sealed, it's OK except for pine. Pine can wick some if using a thin paint.

Excellent video, what sealer would be best for exterior signs? I read that Zinsser 854 is for interior applications Thank you.

@ChristcrossCrafts Год назад

Thank you for watching. The sealer (in my opinion) isn't as important as the topcoat. I'm a fan of the Zinsser sealcoat (shellac-based) because it makes the grain pop. For a topcoat, you have several options. Any "outdoor" finish will work. I usually use General Finishes Exterior 450 if I want a clear water-based finish, or Waterlox marine if I need an oil-based finish (this takes a while to dry but very easily maintained). Also, about any "marine" varnish will work. System III makes a really good one.

@kenanklovitch8117 Год назад

@@ChristcrossCrafts To be clear, are you saying that it doesn't matter if the wood sealer doesn't have to say exterior as long as the top coat is for exterior?

@ChristcrossCrafts Год назад

@@kenanklovitch8117 Correct. If you are just using a sealer (i,e. deck sealer, log cabin sealer, etc.), then it will need to be exterior rated. If you are top coating it with something else, it does not need to be. The exterior "top" coating will keep UV and weather out.

@ChristcrossCrafts 3 месяца назад

It can become an issue if you leave it on for a long time (a couple of days) or if the wood is porous. I have had it be sticky if i applied it over a finish that wasn't dried well. Apart from that, I've never had leave a residue.

@ChristcrossCrafts 9 месяцев назад

Unless the surface is smooth and clean, it will struggle to adhere. Also, it has to be pressed so all air pockets are out. I've used it on pine with no issues. Is it possible the stain wasn't dry?

@SpwnDragn 3 года назад

Tried to use oramask the other day, guess something didn’t go right, cause the bit ended up grabbing some of the oramask and got wrapped up so I had to shut it down and peel it all off the bit. Haven’t tried again. :/

@ChristcrossCrafts 3 года назад

It does need to be pressed on well. I get some build-up sometimes with my 60° v bit. You can adjust rpms and fix some of that but otherwise I haven't had any issues.

@BrentHeadbergHarborViewPhotos Год назад

I've been trying to carve letters with Oromask with a 60deg 1/8" vbit, but the Oromask gets shredded along the edges. Using on Poplar with 200mm/min plunge and 1000mm/min feed. Final depth at 0.15mm.

@ChristcrossCrafts Год назад

How fine did you sand, is the surface clean, did you squeegee or press the surface prior to applying it? If rhe surface isn't smooth and clean it won't adhere well. If the mask isn't pressed well it will unravel some while being cut. If your bit is dull that can also pull more on the material instead of slice.

@AusWorkshop Год назад

I tried this mask on a nicely white-painted sign which I then routed out the lettering, spray painted the lettering black then after a day or so tried removing the film. It pulled off in small pieces and left a sticky residue in patches. Then trying to remove the residue I ended up smearing the black paint all over the white creating a mess. I ended up using white spirits with a Q tip to clean up most of the black smudges mixed in with the sticky residue. Needless to say I spent many hours more than I'd hoped and lost money on the job. I won't be doing another multi-coloured sign until I find a better mask that doesn't leave an impossible-to-remove sticky residue. Someone said that it is easy to remove with soapy water but that wasn't the case, it did nothing to remove it even after soaking for hours. So frustrating!

@ChristcrossCrafts Год назад

Sorry you experienced that. The key to the oramask is not leaving it on, but shortly after the paint has dried. Also, if you didn't let the original white paint dry to cure, it tried curing, and the mask prevented it from flashing off. This works well but there are some steps to make it get to that point. I have made the mistake of taking the mask off too early, dragging wet paint onto the main field. It was a learning process, but now I won't use anything else.
