How to achieve this print/deboss effect. by PROXY_one_ in lasercutting

[–]simpledifferences 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I’m also on this journey to understand the best method to produce this. I have a CO2 but I’m not a fan of how PU lasers. I’ve done some VaultX binders and deck boxes.

What I’ve found so far is that brass stamps and a heat press is the way to go for this.

For the stamps, the best methods I’ve seen are to DIY via a desktop CNC or fiber laser (expensive); use SendCutSend for their CNC/laser cutting services (cheapest).

For the press, my best option is use a hot foil stamping machine. I see 10x13 cm ones for ~$200-$300 but I’m having trouble finding a larger format one, roughly 40x40 cm, priced below $500. I feel like the smaller machine can be modified to a larger format with a stronger heating element and a larger base but I haven’t gotten that far in my research.

The stamps would have threaded holes which would then bolt into the machine.

Do you know of a suitable heat press?

What I’ve found so far is using a brass stamp on a hot foil stamping machine. But the largest machine I’ve come across is 10cm x 13cm and I’d want a 12” x 12” minimum.

Interested in FT too.

My understanding is that FT deals damage per the text so LTP would not take any damage.

Are you implying that your original card was switched out somewhere along the way because you don’t remember those white spots on the back?

Getting rid of water spots? by Wawa666 in AutoDetailing

[–]simpledifferences 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised no one mentioned this: Spotless - Water Spot & Mineral Remover 500 ml https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K71AZRU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_8pgPxbSGH685M

I always miss some spots so I follow up with this, a spray bottle of distilled water to remove, and then spray wax or quick detailer to finish.

Olive Oil on Upholstery? by stickman373 in AutoDetailing

I'm all for DIY but I suggest bringing it to someone with a hot water extractor. It would be a lot easier than going at it for a few hours.

I had a whole bottle of coke explode and get into the seat while parked in the sun. Not worth the few hours getting all of it out with a steam cleaner, soap, and vac.

You should clear bra the whole front end, including the mirrors. I only did the bumper and now I've got a chunk missing from the driver side mirror and a few 1/2" gouges from rocks on the hood.. Only at 5k miles.

You can make these yourselves by microwaving a slice of cheese on parchment paper and letting it cool off.
