I use an epoxy resin pouring kit I bought from Michaels craft store to pour into molds. I let the resin cure for two days, as to be sure it has 100% hardened. If I can find a way to pour my own “sheets” of resin, could the Glowforge then engrave or cut these hardened pieces? I’m a little worried it might not be compatible and mess up the machine. Has anyone tried this? Yay or nay?
You’ll have to get an MSDS for the specific resin product you’re using. Some resins release highly toxic gases when lasered.

Pretty sure that the kids at #whengeekscraft can tell you everything you need to know about epoxy & glowforge…
I was hoping that would be a link to them and/or their posts but either something has changed or my sleep-addled brain isn’t remembering how to do that properly…
