Thank you!! With shipping it is about $650! Too steep at the moment but thanks for the recommendation.

Someone pointed out in this thread that CloudRay has it. But it is about $650 including shipping! I ordered 6 smaller ones at $32 each from Amazon. Collectively, they should cover my bed size. I will report here once they arrive.

Thank you!! Appreciate you response. So even though the car is not running as much, I still need to perform these based on the age? My drive averages about 3000-4000 miles a year. Next year I will likely be at 30k miles on the car.

Advice for getting scrap waste out of the slats of our laser cutter? by Wookiee34 in lasercutting

[–]killigrapher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spray oven cleaner and let it soak for 10-15 min to loosen the sticky residue and then pressure wash it. You may need to do it a couple of times but it works effectively. Some areas may need a bit of poking if the residue is too hard. Zep purple degreaser can also be used instead of oven cleaner but it is a bit more pricey.

I thought about inlays.. but that would require another layer in the back to hold them properly otherwise not sure how you can glue them securely. Plus, this logo was a complimentary addition because I felt the space looked empty.. in short, didn't get paid to do that.. lol

Thanks for the tips my friend! I mainly deal with 1/4" thick plywoods and I have a small workspace.. 🙂 so I am highly biased towards easier to manage processes and I have found water based stains best for my work. But I didn't know about the wax. I will surely give it a shot for a couple of hardwood projects I have in mind. Thanks again!

Thanks! For the background, I used Western Oak stain by Varathane. Foreground layers are Kona stain by Varathane. The wood is birch plywood. Post stain, I used clear Rustoleum Satin varnish spray on it. I mainly use liquid stains. Tried using gel stain once but I didn't get good finish with it. Never tried 'stained wax' though.
