    Do you use something like a primer ? Do you have experience with acrylic colours with and without primer? Most primer are white and would over paint my dark edge from laser cutting. I only found one primer which is also wood stain. But don't know if it will work with acrylic paint. Btw where can I buy the roller from your video. Didn't find something similar

    Hi, thanx for watching. I dont normally use primer. If I have to choose a primer I normally use gesso. Gesso comes in clear, white and black. If the primer is water based (cleans up with water) then acrylic paint should stick to it. Test it first. I bought my brayer at a craft store. Mine is a soft rubber brayer.

    Hi. Thank you for this enlightening video. I find it very helpful. Still I have the following problem/question: I do many laser cut projects using 4 - 8 mm thick plywood sheets. Whatever setting I use when cutting, there is always an amount of scorching on the cut edges. I can get rid of some of the scorching by sanding and / or a spirit-wet cloth. In any case, some scorching remains which is not nice. If I choose to paint with acryl with the intent to cover all sides then everything is fine, but in most cases I prefer to use only a transparent coating as I like to keep the wood grain visible. In these cases I wish to cover only the edges with some non-transparent coating in order to disguise the scorching. The problem lies in painting these thin surfaces without touching the large surfaces. Even with the smallest brush I find this almost impossible. Do you please have some advice? Many thanks, Emanuel

  • @theresacreativestudio
    @theresacreativestudioАй бұрын

    Thanx for watching. Glad you found this helpful. Unfortunately scorched edges is unavoidable with laser cutting wood. I have made peace with it and tend to just paint the edges if I want metallic or glitter on the edges. I use a sponge to paint the edges, but you still sometimes get paint on the surface. I just wipe with wet cloth as I work. It is a lot of work to paint the edges and that is why I mostly leave them as is. Try a sponge to paint the edges and see if that will work for you.

    Hi, do you also paint the sides? I have large pieces of laser cut layered designs and I would like to paint the sides as well to cover up the dark burnt sides. Making sure all exposed surfaces are covered. Also do you apply a top coat or a seal to protect the paint? I am painting 3mm MDF so I presume I need to apply a base coat first.

  • @theresacreativestudio
    @theresacreativestudioАй бұрын

    Thanx for watching. I dont always paint the sides. Depends on the project. A good opaque acrylic paint will cover the burned sides. I will paint them with a roller or sponge. I never use a base coat but you can use gesso as a base. Most of my projects are for indoor use so I dont seal, but you can use a spray varnish if you want to seal.

  • @theresacreativestudio
    @theresacreativestudio2 ай бұрын

    No worries. We all need to start somewhere and sometimes the info can be a bit confusing or overwhelming. The brayer is from a letter press set. But it is basically a soft rubber brayer. You also get hard rubber brayers for lino printing. Most art/craft shops will sell brayers. Get a soft rubber one. When using the brayer with acrylic paint you need to clean it immediately with water. I have a tub of water on my desk and normally just chuck the brayer in there to soak. If the paint goes hard on the brayer it is a bit of a hassle to get it off, scraping with a knife sometimes helps but most of the time the paint stays stuck. So just clean your brayer asap after use.
