Great info! But a note on masking: Sometimes the masking adhesive can adversely impact the finish--low tack tape or film minimizes this. Best to always test any new tape of leather!

@@JHLeather that's awesome! I've recently gotten into knife making. Maybe I can make one for you and send it to you so you can make a sheath for it.

Can you list out the recommended products that you mentioned?

@marshalltjones 3 ай бұрын

I want to make keychains somewhat similar to what you are doing, but I don't want to do stitching. What kind of glue would I use to make a permanent durable edge that won't separate? I've heard contact cement? If that is the case, what brands do you recommend?

@user-us6ly5qd5o Жыл бұрын

Helpful video! Have you ever tried wetting the leather instead of masking? I do that regularly when I use a trotec laser, but I'm wondering the result with a glowforge. My experience is that wetting reduces char, and I truly believe it helps get a more consistent cut.

@JHLeather Жыл бұрын

No I haven't tried that, mostly because I don't want to wait for it to dry 😂

@tammyhulbert Жыл бұрын

@@JHLeather I’d rather wait for it to dry than pick the masking tape off. 😂

If you can take it all off at once, Gorilla tape works great!

Am I able to laser a already make purse using a machine ?

@gaiustacitus4242 4 ай бұрын

You certainly could if using the xTool P2 with a riser base. You would also need a fixture to hold the surface to be engraved very flat. Otherwise, the variation in surface height would ruin the purse.

Hi Jo, from what I managed to hear, some good advice and tips unfortunately the “please hold the line/ lift muzak”, drowned out your dulcet voice. Sorry for being a moaning old sod.🤗
