I loved when you said "videotape it" 😉Old school, like me! Great video too, thanks!

LOVE THAT TABLE

Be proud of your Alabama accent and never change it. Roll Tide!

I have learned over the years of using both mineral spirits and acetone that as soon as you pour a little out onto your rag or towel put the cap back on immediately, parts of it will evaporate and will be a lot less effective in the given use. I always use gloves with this stuff and recommend anyone do the same. thanks for the great video i learned a lot

White lighting shines under the moon!! 🤯

That's the reason I switched to using acrylic paints on glass and ceramic tile. I actually use the Plaid Apple Barrel and Folkart craft paints from walmart instead of the tempura paints. I feel they have more pigment and work better. I use an airbrush, but you don't have to. I've used a foam brush as well. Works just as good, maybe better since you get a thicker coat. Also... don't know if you know, but if you use white paint - acrylic or rattlecan, it doesn't matter, you will get a black mark on the glass or tile just like using the Cermark... for a LOT cheaper!

Thanks for sharing the research! Good video!

Great video and info, I have not wanted to use the spray paints for glasses that will be drank out of, so I went with the water base tempru paint, and an airbrush, I had several laying around, harbor frieght has a real cheap one that works well with the tempru paint, so you don't have to invest a lot,, the trick is to thin it with water so that it will spray, and it does a real good job as etching,, not so much for marking, the cermark looks really good, but that stuff is higher than gold. thanks for the video.

thanks for the idea. My wife and I can all the time...tomatoes (of course) chicken (our favorite) well the list goes on. I have the 10 watt D1 and the 20W version is on order. You definitely have a southern accent....they (the accents) vary according to the region you come from. My wife is from Kentucky and after close to 40 years in Minnesota it is still there...different from yours...I think she works on keeping it as people really respond to her. I am also an ardent woodworker. Thanks for a fine video. I subscribed and will become a regular follower.

Great video! Just tried an old painters/cabinetmakers trick. Put a thin coating of Johnson paste wax (original formula) on the glass, let it haze over and paint it. Mineral spirits takes it right off. Great frosting too.

Lacquer thinner works great for that paint. I put a piece of paper towel over the paint and pour some thinner on it, let it sit for 30 seconds and it will wipe right off. Black paint gives a frosted look while white paint actually leaves a dark engraving.

Great video. Thank you.

I have been liking some results from using cold galvanize compound on glass when going for the frosted look. I clean with acetone and an off brand magic eraser from Amazon like 15 dollars for 50 of them. I also user a copper wire brush to clean out the glass shards left behind from the etching. If you aren't careful after lasering the glass it will stick your hands with shards while washing them. The wire brush takes those shards out of the lasered portions of the glass on cups that is. I don't mess with glass panes other then cleaning.

I have used tempura paint (black) from the dollar tree it’s basically kids finger paint so it’s really easy to get off! I used 85%power and it done great!

Nice job! Good to learn about the ceremark. I know units don't matter but you might consider using mm/minute to get a finer control of your speed. It would mean redoing your notepad though....

I love your style and explanations. When you said “de-red neck ” I nearly spit my coffee out 🤪😂🤣 #GoDawgs

Someone may have already said this but try acetone to remove that paint from the jars. Love your videos. Fellow Alabamian.

If the rusto isn't too well cured then acetone will take it off. Laquer thinner should also. If you don't want to deal with it getting in the frosted/etched glass then try "sanding" it off with steel wool or possibly a magic eraser (steel wool will work for sure and not scratch the glass). All that said, either use cheaper paint or wax the glass before painting it and it will wipe off much easier. As far as shellac, it's totally sandable, "sanding sealer" is just thinned shellac. Some shellac might be waxy and clog the sandpaper but it will still sand. For that matter, if it's shellac you can wipe it off/dissolve it with alcohol, shellac is often bought as a solid and "cut" with alcohol to make it a liquid, and adding alcohol to something finished with it takes it right off. If it wasn't sanding, I'm not sure what you had, most common clear finishes sand well, urethane, polyurethane, lacquer, shellac... all should sand well.

Your wife probably wondered what in the world you put all over her good Mason jars. LOL Thanks for testing this for us.

I use rustoleum cold galvanizing spay on glass. One light coat with 100 power and 12mm speed. Comes off with denatured alcohol and it wipes right off.

I've been using Pine-Sol to remove the spray paint. Soaking the glass in 100% Pine-Sol for a little while, then the paint comes off easily with brushing or a Scotch-Brite pad (my preferred method).

Try candle black. Hold a lit candle under the spot u want to prep and the lit candle will leave a sootie substance on the glass. Laser your design in that area and then wipe clean.

Mason jars is a very pinteresting thing to do. It's no longer in the south. I'm in Montana and my wife has our drink cupboard filled with them

Your flesh-colored watch is amazing.

I used spray chalkboard paint and I was able to use warm water and #0000 steel wool to remove it.

You could also try dry moly lube. Oil based. Paint thinner takes it right off.

Acetone is the cleaner what you need. Flat paint is easier to get off since it has less binders in it.

In Yuma we call it an accident not an accent. My brother is in Mobile AL. So he speaks funny also… no harm ment.

They say you can use the chalkboard paint as well? You could try it…. But all in all great job 👍🏼 I need to come down and learn from you.

Temporary chalk spray paint is removable with just water. I imagine any color will work with giving that frosted look.

you should turn your cheat sheet into a library in lightburn so its easy to just select and go

Hi Sir, great video. I'm new to Laser Engraving. I have a question, couldn't you use dark painters tape on the Jar to get a Frosted Effect on the Glass or will that not work? Have you tried that? Of course that won't impregnate the glass with dark pigment like the paint will, but it seems like it would be a quick and dirty way to get it done?

Hey try cold galvanized spray, can get at Walmart or Lowes. Water takes off and every bit as good as cermark on glass or metal, or anything.

Appreciate the videos. Great content. I had a question about Power output. I heard that running the laser at 100% will limit the life of the laser. The suggestion was to keep the power at or below 75% when possible and adjust the speed to compensate for less power. Do you have any suggestions/opinions on that?

I am at the point where I'm experimenting with my new laser unfortunately I went cheap with a phecda machine, I'll upgrade later, I tried etching into a few candles like the Yankee Candles. When I had the power high enough to mark it I wound up with long cracks in the glass I don't know if it's because I only have a 10w machine? But I'm still playing around hopefully I will figure it out.

I bet acetone would have worked for the black paint. Glossy paint is harder to remove than the matte finish. I make epoxy tumblers. Citristrip will even dissolve cured epoxy too. :)

wonder if norton white tile method would work

How small of a surface can you etch and can this machine do multiple pieces at once, depending on the size?

Great video, are you using a 5w or 10 w model?

i've try engrave on glass using tempera paint for about 6hours. and result pretty good. but got problem when try to clean tempera paint. its not cleaned 100% on some point. how i can totally clean the tempera paint and make glass not look dirty cz of tempera paint?

I may have missed if you commented or not but I would not use an etched, engraved, Mason Jar for actual canning. chance of imploding in the process.

Great vid but acetone or denatured alcohol usually strips spray paint right off

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Have you ever did Christmas tree glass ball engrave with a d 1 pro 10 watt if so would you share the settings. Thank you Ed

A razor blade and acetone worked on a wine bottle for me.

I use acetone to remove paint

Get you a Dewalt stealth sonic shop vac! You can barely hear that thing running.

Have you tried glass engraving on your 20w D1 pro?

Hmmmm..... Did the paint can(s) give any sort of hint of what to use to remove the paint?

Another good one, "Mr. Clackster." :-) I'm just wondering if you've made a video in which you use the D1 to engrave your logo (or other words, like "Congratulations" or "A special gift from ...:) onto a wood project. I'll try to hunt through your video library, but just wondering what you could point me to. Currently, I'm using vinyl decals that a friend (certified trainer on the Silhouette cutter machines) make for me. I surely would like to transition to some kind of laser etched/engraved wording, though. ~~ Larry from Tupelo

Did you mention the laser settings?

can I ask what laser safety glassed you use ?

Xylene is nasty but have used it and it's very effective on paint... much quicker than citrus

What camera are you using on your laser?

And if you get the right alcoholic drink you can mix it with the sweet tea in the jar

ACETONE is what I use

Great video! What were your settings for CerMark coating on the Glass? I set up 100/11 , waiting for a result while I am texting

Shine, Hootch or Moon Shine

What part of Alabama I’m from Alabama as well

Lacquer thinner would clean most aerosol paint

Have you tried tempura paint?

I do I get to consistently burn the object in the same direction Time After Time I put cups in burned it the way I have it designed put another cup in and it's inverted and have not changed any settings so what am I doing wrong or what is light burn doing wrong question

how many coats of etching spray?

Info on the camera?

What is that? How can i do it?

where in Alabama you live?

Use paint stripper

Just call it CerStuff

You chalk paint, comes right off with water.

😂 enjoy your videos, but definitely an accent.
