re: Project Etching device

The engraving isn’t that deep Ducky, but it might be deep enough to fill with some Timbermate. I haven’t tried that. Seeing as how this is v1, I might go back and try it as-is. I usually buff out the charring with some 220g. Not sure why I didn’t here. Maybe it’s because the box was already finished (since I was reusing surplus). Dunno. I need to do some more test work with that laser. I find if I turn the intensity up too high it gets a really dark char, which gets all over the place if you don’t seal it in with lacquer or shellac or something. Probably the foibles of a cheap laser…but it’s soooo easy to use! I wonder if running two passes with low power would avoid that and get more depth? I am a fan of the Timbermate…but I’ve only got a couple flavors of it…I should probably get a couple more if I’m gonna use it to backfill and sand, eh?
