How did you attach the liner? Looks nice. A good way to get a young person into DIY, the gift that keeps on giving.

I purchased it from www.laser-templates.com
It looks like they are selling this design and, that the license terms donât including giving the design away somewhere else online. So, you might want to take that down.

How did you check the synthetic leather to make sure it wasnât vinyl based?

Good question! I didnât⌠
I do have the GF in a scientific fume hood, so hopefully it wasnât too big a mistake.
Does anyone have resource recommendations for material testing procedures before lasering?
If you laser vinyl materials, because of the chlorine content, it will make hydrochloric acid and destroy your laser by corroding every metal part in it.
There are many resources online and in this forum on how to test materials.
