Mirror Acrylic Burn

There is what looks like slight smudging in two spots on an ornament I am cutting. I thought it was because my acrylic wasn’t laying flat, but I just did another test run with honeycomb pins holding it down. Tough to photograph the mirror acrylic but it’s the are around the heart cutout. Any insight would be appreciated! Thank you!

I am going to move this out of Problems and Support since this is an issue with non Proofgrade material. There have been lots of posts about mirror acrylic, including setting tips. Have you read through those? Extuded acrylic is a bit different than the cast Proofgrade acrylic so you may have to make some adjustments. Are you masking? Are you cutting with the mirror side down or up? Ha

Yeah. Most immediate question: Mirror facing up or facing down when you cut it?
