I tried several types of waterproof spray adhesive but there was quite a lot of delamination in the small detail when brushed under running water to clean the ash away. This can have happy accidents and interesting results but also leads to more discards. Which is a shame as it takes between 30 minutes an 3 hrs to engrave depending on size or numbers of engravings.

It took a longtime to reply because there is ablock on number of repkies a day for some reason.

I have put a post on glowforge users group facebook page as well. This forum seems to restrict my interaction with limited replies a day.

That restriction will be lifted automatically as you participate here. This is a discourse forum, and there are user “trust levels” that you progress between. It’s a little secretive about what the thresholds are, but looking at your profiles, you’re a “new user” and I think that’s lifted shortly after you join.

You’ll see a lot of us doing replies like this:

even though we don’t have the restriction because if you respond too many times in the same thread you’ll still get a pop-up saying “You’re replying an awful lot!” :stuck_out_tongue:

You are also now trust level member, which should have lifted all those restrictions.

Welcome, you’re off to an awesome start!
