Hands down winner on the tempura paint and a lot less time. If one is doing a batch run of coasters air brushing the tempura paint would be a fast way to paint. I vote for the tempura and that's what I will be using. Great video and informative ! Cheers.

Thanks for the comparison... at timepoint 20:24, you say that the 354 DPI for tempura was "higher" than the optimal DPI for cold galvi, but I could not find an explicit statement for the final DPI settings for cold galvi. can you show a screen shot of the "cut setting editor" for your final cold galvi run? (or report out the details in a reply?) THANKS!

Of course the lines are more crisper on the one with the tempera paint because the dpi settings are higher than the one on the galvi...Galvenized paint can come with water also, water and scotch pad.The best way to do these,or even for tiles too...Is to let the tempera or the paint dry for 24hrs before engraving...If you dry it with a heat gun it looks dry but not completely dry...All in all great video!!

May I add that if you use flat black high heat paint the kind used to paint stove pipes...You will be amazed by the color the etching will leave...It will come out either dark gold or a bronze color. It is very important to let the paint dry 24hrs before etching. Do a test pattern to see all the different shades.

,well i have a question. I am thinking that you get the more white effect cause of the whitness of the tio2 . Its a whitening agent after all. How about using raw tio2 or spaying it before you die it black? I am guessing that the black absorbs light more and thats why it's faster.

I usually use the cold galvanising. But I'm not sure why you need the chem to clean up the cold galv. I use water and it easily cleans off glass. I'd say it comes off as easy as the tempura maybe even easier. I'll need to look at my test grids again. Some how I didn't notice that the cold galvanising was so much slower.

I just found this video. Great job very detailed. Can I do this same procedure with plexiglass?

If the glass is 3mm thick, you set the laser height to the surface of the glass, plus 3mm to get the laser focus on the back of the glass.

@@LaserNoob I know that, but higher power/faster passes, creating more "heat exposure" might be beneficial. Figured you maybe could give it a shot or I will hopefully in the next few months when I get mine.

If you coat one piece of glass with paint and then place a second piece of glass on top of the first piece, you can slowly drag the top piece of glass sideways toward you, keeping it flat until it comes all the way off the bottom piece. The entire top of the bottom piece of glass will now have a completely smooth and even, coating of paint on it.
