Burning painted wood

I have some painted wood pieces that I am wanting to use in my Glowforge. The paint was purchased within the last month. It is latex (indoor) paint. Is it okay to use these pieces in my Glowforge? I am wanting to engrave and also cut out wood letters.

You’re gonna want to find the MSDS for your specific product - this, for example, is from http://lakeland.edu/PDFs/MSDS/489/Royal Int SemiGloss Latex Ultra White (Ace).pdf
(you’ll have to copy/paste the full URL, the site breaks at spaces)

and nothing here looks scary:

So find the same thing for your product, and fingers crossed it’s similar :slight_smile:
