Hello Mia! Love your content. You brought up the burning on the back side of your ornaments. This is call flash back. To prevent this, raise your wood to the height of the width of your hold down t's.just slide some of those T's around the edge of the wood. Then,hold down wood as normal. Focus, make sure air is on, then cut. This should help.
No it wasn’t the burning I meant 😉 It was just the brown MDF looking backside I was referring to. I usually sand mine off. This however was cut on my laser that had not been cleaned for a while. I usually don’t have much flashback
@@MiMoDesignLaserfiles It worked... after lots of testing I finally got it to cut and score, the engraving didn't work out, but two out of three isn't bad. Thanks again !!
Just took a look and you’re right! They actually have a lot! Most of is pretty decorative, but I found some of the solid colors to, which seems to be the exact same as what I have 👌
looks like you pin down your sheet directly to the honeycomb. If you put scrap 3mm pieces at the corners and in the center, Then pin down to prevent movement, you will decrease the flashback on the back of the boards and will get a cleaner look on the unfinished side.
Thank you for the advice. But I don’t really care about the flashback. I usually sand it off afterwards ☺️ I use the pins to make sure my slightly warped sheets are laying nice and flat
Oh yes, that’s right! I actually spoke with Kris about it a long time ago, when I used this for earrings. I’m not sure if it’s the exact same, but I do believe it works just as well. But thank you for reminding me about this, I’ll see if I can get it tested out.
Many thanks for sharing the info. I have just bought the hardboard. Have a plan to cut it using a diode laser.
@@ask_usb You’re welcome. I love this material - let us know how it works for you

Thank you for a fabulous video, have you ever heard from anyone that this would work with a 10w diode laser please 🥰🥰
You’re welcome 👌 No, I haven’t, but if you can cut 1/8”, you should be able to cut this too
@@MiMoDesignLaserfiles thank you so much, I’ll get some and give it a go 🥰🥰🥰
@ Let me know how it goes
@@MiMoDesignLaserfiles I certainly will, just got to find some first 😂😂🥰🥰

Lowe’s has most all kinds of hardboard

I wonder if this is the same they have at a company called Craft Closet in the US..
I have used their red,blue,green and orange color panels from them and they do wipe clean with water. They have a wide range of colors

Thank you so much for confirming Wayne. Does the back look the same as mine or is it “laminated” on both sides?
