Welcome to the forum. Funny coincidence, someone just asked pretty much the same thing a few days ago. Here’s the discussion, should answer all your questions.

Masking tape for leather lasering

Hi, I just got my glowforge basic and is going to use it on my leather work. My question is what kind of masking tape you guys put on when doing the lasering? I used up the sample leather with the box and now using regular tape. I found out it was really hard to get rid of the residue when peeling it off, especially for the engrave part. Thanks in advance for good tips.
