Thanks for the video. I'm picking up a laser today. I'm hoping I can cut tape on a screen printing screen and use it to screen print.....thanks for the idea!
Hi! I know this video is old but I just stumbled on it. I have acquired a ton of scrap Corian from a customer of mine. I started making coasters with them. The black Corian works phenomenally well when engraving but not so well with the lighter colors. With that said, I started to mask with blue painters tape and engraved to spray paint afterwards. My issue is that the paint doesn't adhere well to the Corian. I bought enamel spray paint for models and it works great when applied to the Corian before engraving but afterwards it wants to peel up. I need something that is going to work after the abuse of the bottle/can over time. I am not sure if that after the engraving there is residual residue from the tape or not. I didn't know if maybe you have any ideas or not. The black ones I did without taping and painting came out beautiful and sell out so quickly that I didn't have time to experiment with the painted ones. I only have one machine and it is a very low 5watt diode.
Hello there, thanks for taking the time to watch my video. I have not worked with Corian except for kitchen countertops. But I have done some research for you on painting Corian. I have found there's a lot of paint out there for this material. The most common answer that I get is used epoxy paint. I would also try.Rust-Oleum Industrial Spray Paint Resists fading, chipping and peeling. But I think the epoxy paint is going to be your best. Bet. Hope this was helpful. Please like and subscribe. Let me know how you made out.
I like the Plastic Cutting Board Idea. I lost interest in the Painters Tape Stenciling concept when the Paint would bleed through the Stencil. Exactly like you mentioned. Thank you.
Is this supposed to work with IR laser over metal surface? I tried it and it did not cut through the tape. it just dyed my surface blue with the project instead of actually engraving.
Hello I mostly use the blue masking tape but what I’m not using that I use vinyl stencil masking. VViViD Blue Stencil Vinyl Masking Film with Anti-Bleed Technology.
Between my 3D printers and laser engraver I basically should own stock in blue painter's tape at this point.
Me also, I have use for all projects 👍🏻

Thanks for your thoughts it’s a hit or miss on painters tape
Vinyle roller could be helpful to seal the tape edges.

I hate using blue painters tape when laser engraving and doing paint fill. The tape always is hard to remove and leaves a glue residue on the project.
Hi Thomas
Thanks for common comments !
How do you presently handle those problems?
I have seen others use transfer tape instead of masking tape. Your thoughts on transfer tape?
If you have transfer tape that would be my first choice otherwise I’m just using using masking tape.
Have you tried transfer tape and if so which do you prefer?
