Great video. If you do a lot of metal engraving, there's a spray called Dry Moly Lube that can be used when marking metal and it's so much more affordable, I bought a can off of Amazon for $10.

[@ashleefalco]

I have heard about Dry Moly, but I also heard that it's don't good to laser (because the chemicals it releases). not sure how true that is, just have heard that.

Any suggestions on why once I rinse off the metal marking. My entire design wipes off, so I'm stuck with a blank again 🥺

[@ashleefalco]

2 things: did you peel off the plastic protector piece? I’ve done that before, it’s thin & clear and easy to miss.
Second: if you have taken the plastic off, try more power/less speed

[@HeavenLeeMadeOnEtsy]

does this only work with the Plus?

[@ashleefalco]

Nope - will work on all models ❤️

[@francescascholz1919]

Would this work for belt buckles too?

[@ashleefalco]

I don't see why it wouldn't. I would always test the material in a small area before committing to a full design.

[@HermetteMelville]

Would just covering the metal with vinyl work?

[@ashleefalco]

You totally could put vinyl on metal - but it won’t be permanent

[@HermetteMelville]

@@ashleefalco I mean to cover it for cutting... instead of spraying it.

[@ashleefalco]

ah no. The spray has some sort of reaction to the metal vinyl wouldn't do it. Also - lasering any vinyl is very very bad for you and your machine.

​@@ashleefalcoFinally laser safe vinyl!
