I treated some baltic birch projects with Krylon Satin clear coat. It comes in an aerosol can. The product description says that it’s fully dry in an hour, but could take a week to cure. Do you think it’s safe to laser after a few hours? I can still smell the spray paint odor, and I’m not sure if whatever is causing that is flammable. It’s intended as a gift for a Christmas party on Tuesday and I was hoping to cut it tonight, but I’d rather not burn my house down…
Someone here have a bit more knowledge here than I do?
Not terribly thick. Two coats of an even spray. I guess I should hold off as long as possible. I need to know what causes that smell… where are all the chemists???
I ended up cutting wood that had already been treated with furniture polish. There was a lot of flame but if you keep a sharp eye on it you should be ok. I would prefer to experiment on something easy to lose in any case. Baking in an oven at the lowest setting or in top of a grill where the heat is being discharged should accelerate the drying.
