Brass absorbs heat like a sponge so you have to make sure the power is high to make a mark. At least, that was the explanation I got when I tried brass. I'm certainly no scientist LOL.<br /> Becky<hr /><a name="a5890_11"></a><p><b>From: smitty</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5890.11">#11</a>]<br /> 30 Jan 2007<br /><b>To: ALL</b></p> Yep, it had a finish on it, but I got lucky and got the Cermark to lay on pretty good. I took Stunt Engravers suggestion and ran the laser across it first, then applied the Cermark and ran it again. They came out real nice.
