Laser Engraving on Scratchboard 

It feels smooth when I wipe it off, not rough. For scratchboard, it doesnt' cut down enough to make it feel rough.

@@theartistpod4609 Thank you for taking the time to reply. I gave my first try with one of my bird images following your advice and I was pretty happy with the result. I am using a 5W diode so I still have to nail down the settings.When I wiped with the microfiber it seemed to catch on the surface and I think I may have had too much power. I blew it off with the air assist hose and it really brightened up. Thanks again Peace Greg

@@nopriors Yea it might be a smidge too much power. If the end results still looked great, I imagine you're probably pretty close to the right settings. And you're welcome!

Yea, I do agree. It is a bit more expensive for the boards unless you do it yourself. Or, like you said, you can get the cheaper boards and attach it to something thicker. I like the look and feel of these, and the detail is good enough you could probably sell them for a lot more once you apply a finish to it. The image is nice and crisp.

I take a micro fiber cloth and gently rub it off. I don't put a lot of pressure, but the micro fiber cloth seems to grab the dust pretty well to clean it up.

@@theartistpod4609 thanks

Thank you! It's so easy to engrave on scratchboard. It's one of the easiest things I've engraved on, and the images it produces is stunning. Definitely worth it.

Thank you so much!

Oh no! Here is the link I used to order mine: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000IG2OXM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yea, probably! I've never tried, but that should work.

Thank you so much! Scratchboard is the easiest thing I've found to engrave on so far.

Ah that's brilliant! Thank you.

Thank you so much! I hope it helps.

I got it from Amazon. Here is a link to what I used: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000IG2OXM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

@@theartistpod4609 Thank you!

I use a Full Spectrum Muse Core. It's been a phenomenal laser engraver to work with!

fslaser.com/amp/musecore/ Is this the brand? If not can you tell me your brand please. Thanx

@@EsayasZerazion Yes, that's the brand! I opted not to get the camera option in mine--it seems to glitch on people a lot. I also have since swapped out the standard lens it comes with to the 1.5 lens. The 1.5 lens is better for engraving, but worse for cutting. I have only used mine for engraving, so switching to the 1.5 made sense for me.

@@theartistpod4609 you are the best. Thanks

By the way you are doing amazing stuff.

Thank you!

Thank you!
