Great video! Thank you.

I have been overlapping the masking tape for years without any clean up after the engraving or cutting, Here's how overlap just a little then run a square edge or your fingernail where the overlap is I wouldn't recommend a strong tack tape low to medium so it doesn't rip the fibres up as you mentioned and is easy to pull off :)

I am glad to see I am not the only one with a pallet stack around back.

Used this for many years. Use to buy it from JDS but I beiieve they discontinued it last year. I use clear boxing tape to weed it. Apply tape, press it tdown securely and then just pull it up. Tape picks up the tape particals and then particals are removed. Rarely are there andthing left to remove.

Enjoy your videos! Always learn something new. Had me laughing today 🤣

Interesting stuff. If you look at the samples on their site, you still see the grain of the wood using the brown. Doesn’t look like a paint coating, more like a stain. Not sure if your black test gave a similar look. Glad to see you again! Good luck with the move.

The black did not but the brown brings out a ton of detail.

I've been experimenting with hopefully a less effort method, not sure yet. Well maybe more stable quality but not always less effort. I simply use a backer with a veneer. I sometimes very lightly engrave the backer outline to outline where I need paint, then paint the backer in whatever complicated colors I need. The cut the veneer as a stencil and glue it on. It looks like a deep engrave but its faster, more color abilities and no bleed or tape. The backer can then be any less expencive product like hardboard. Its a process used in the vinyl world, make the stencil, pick it up with a tac sheet and attach it to the final surface. If its a smaller sign you can use glue backed veneer and a heat press to apply. Just don't cook the paint!

I will have to try that. Thanks 😃

Matt, you left me hanging, what does the finished product look like? I mean do you sand the edges? Do you put it in a frame ? Do you add a backer or just add wall hangers ??? Lotsa questions bro. Btw I’m just catching up on a bunch a videos I’ve missed over the last few months.

You sound Canadian. I’m in Michigan. Fun video. I have been dabbling with making some things with a hand burning tool but it’s so difficult to write neatly. If I could laser engrave that would be a game changer. I generally don’t work with sheets of wood though. I often have oddly shaped pieces of wood I want to engrave.

Thanks 😃. Yes and 220 grit. Yes it will.

I was so excited to get this product - I bought the 3 pack - I just tried it on a cutting board that I got from amazon (thin wood base) and it is not going through the tape - I have the xtool m1 10W - any suggestion on settings - the first run was so dark and looked burned??? Love your videos

How is this any different than a standard spray? Just viscosity? Not sure I see how I couldn't get the same results with a krylon.

No need to film that...I've had good luck with a light dusting of the paint...we all end up sanding it in the end anyways...I was initially thinking the product was something you spray on before and it had some kind of a magical reaction...the paint masking definitely makes it pop. Keep up the good content!

Poly the wood first and it keeps it from bleeding using this tape method. Then you can use any type of paint. And then poly over for finish

Where do you get that large roll of tape you use for masking?

It doesn’t bleed like paint

Love the video. Just an idea, but you can also just do an outline instead of a fill, take the paper off the letters, and then paint the letters. Let it dry, then take off the masking paper. I haven't had any luck doing this your way. The spray paint always goes around the etch, instead of in it.

The viscosity looked like standard spray paint. I wish when he showed products he'd have some actual facts to provide that illustrate why it's better than what we likely already use. This product should have been compared side-by-side with standard spray paint.
