      Nick, it IS *4:2O* somewhere.... Beat you to it.... P.S. Big "A" has a QUART of the McCormick RED food coloring for only $12.86............ SO, when you'all mix up that batch of Ti02 you won't break the bank using those pi$$y .5 oz bottles of food coloring for 4-6 bucks in a "kit".... I am mixing a batch right after I hit the keyboard... Hank
      Also, I found that the shorty "Ball" canning jar with a big A$$ wide mouth will accommodate a 3 inch foam "brush" for almost one stroke coverage of the 4 inch tiles, (HD - Daltile Restore Bright White 4-1/4 x 4-1/4 Ceramic Wall Tile - $12.36/100).... Let the burning begin.. Nick - keep up the good work and humor....

    Looks pretty cool, although I'd want a little more contrast on those. Anyhow, I'm confused as to why they needed to be spray painted. I'm pretty sure I've seen other do it without painting and it turned out fine .

    • @WmTRiker
      @WmTRiker 10 місяців тому

      Using a diode laser without the spray paint will cause the laser to merely reflect off the surface of the tile without etching it. The videos you saw probably used a different type of laser like a CO2. I believe the CO2's don't require the paint.

      @jamesfriend4225 2 роки тому +2

      The choice of cleaner is more dependent on the material you are cleaning. Acetone would probably damage vinyl, while isopropyl is safe on most plastics and would work for tile as well. Also bear in mind that many materials sold as vinyl would not be safe to cut on a laser. Anything with PVC in it releases chlorine gas in the laser which damages the equipment and is very toxic.

If you grid was created correctly, if you click on a different shape in the grid, this number should change accordingly.

      The "go to" paint for this type of application seems to be Rustoleum Painters Touch 2X Ultra Cover. I use Heirloom White.

      That is a trick question. LOL
      Ortur originally claimed this was a 20 watt laser. Which is misleading because it's 20 watts in, not the output. So output varies on who you talk to. Anywhere between 5 - 5.5 watts.
