I've included a couple of pictures. One shows a quite acceptable finished appearance. The other a little warping on the ends.<br /> <br /> This piece is 2"x3" and I guess that I have about 30 to 40 minutes in the job counting laser time. I thought I could save my customer some money and increase my profits but I don't think that will happen with this item. <hr /><a name="a4953_30"></a><p><b>From: PenTrophy (PENINSULATROPHY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4953.30">#30</a>]<br /> 30 Mar 2007<br /><b>To: Mike (MIKEN)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4953.29">#29</a>] 30 Mar 2007</p> The warping can be overcome if you have a heat press or I guess an oven. Heat to 180 or so . The material is flexible (resin) then place on a flat surface until cool.<p class="edit_text">EDITED: 30 Mar 2007 by PENINSULATROPHY</p> <hr /><a name="a4953_31"></a><p><b>From: Mike (MIKEN)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4953.31">#31</a>]<br /> 30 Mar 2007<br /><b>To: PenTrophy (PENINSULATROPHY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4953.30">#30</a>] 30 Mar 2007</p> Mark:<br /> <br /> Thanks for that info. I'll give it a try.<br /> <br /> If this stuff engraved a little faster I think I could use a lot of it but I can easily see an hour of engraving for an 8x10 piece. <hr /><p align="center">Show messages:  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4953.1">1-8</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4953.9">9-28</a>  29-31</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2025 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
