  <description><![CDATA[The UV coated photo &#34;ceramic&#34; plates glazes for doming are the &#34;exact&#34; same UV glazes I use and sell with our &#34;Crystal Shield&#34; machines.  The UV glazes, in my opinion have the best up to the edge surface retention when doing products like dog tags, etc.  We've done hundreds of test with our UV glazes, and have the support of companies like Roland who make the Metaza machines, and Brian Kim (Dr. Metaza) which sells our products through the Mattman Enterprises distributor.  Also a side note:  I've use these both warmed and not warmed both with the same absolutely excellent results.

I also showed Frank (the owner of  Chewbarka), products I direct printed and then UV Glaze/domed.  Frank said he loved the products.  It gives a &#34;full color photo&#34; side to the side that is not engraved.  Die cutters can be made to fit our PSA (pressure sensative adhesive) papers as well.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[The difference between specialised doming products and generic water clear 2 part epoxies/urethanes is amongst other things , the resistance to yellowing which is a huge problem. Some cheap epoxies will yellow in a matter of weeks outdoors or months indoors. 
Using it on something like a badge will guarantee you an irate customer a while down the line. There are inexpensive starter kits out there using good 2 part UV resistant urethanes supplied in carts , complete with a applicator gun and a static mixer. Thats the route you should be following.
If you have an inkjet printer , use inkjet vinyl (polyester based) and use your laser to kiss cut it , use the laser to cut the substrate it goes on and apply the decal to it , dome the whole thing. Let your imagination lead you to the variety of products you are capable of making. Even just doming the self adhesive laser die cut inkjet vinyl with a flexible dome for specialised stickers is a huge application.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Lisa,

I'm happy to hear you're enjoying the forum.  It's become my labor of love.

I'm pleased, the posts are so frequent and informative, but the best is yet to come!

Do you know the differences between CO2 and YAG laser engraving?

Do you know the difference between &#34;Flying Optics&#34; and &#34;Steered Beam&#34; laser equipment?

Have you ever been behind the scenes at a high-production YAG laser engraving facility?

If not, you will!

We're in the formative stages of developing our first &#34;Video Field Trip&#34;, which will be made available to the forum members!

  <title>UV bulbs</title>

  <description><![CDATA[I went to the local electrical supply store to checkout availability and prices of UV bulbs. They didn't see the bulbs in their catalog, but gave me a phone # and web address.

(800) 555-0050
www.nam.lighting.philips.com (select eCatalog, then special lighting)

Other things I've learned:
UV-A 320-400nm (Blacklights are UVA)
UV-B 260-320nm
UV-C 200-260nm (Used for disinfecting / sterilizing)
x-rays &#60; 200nm

=======
Repeated from other thread:
Blacklights are normally used for low volume doming. 15-25 min cure time. (There are other formulas that cure in seconds with high intensity lights that cover the spectrum from A to C. - Dangerous)
Home depot sells blacklights in 18&#34; and 24&#34;
Spencer Gifts sells various blacklights including screw-in compact fluorescent for $5.]]></description>
