Hey, I bought a laser to go from using etching cream for my glass etching business to laser etched products. I've got the machine all set up in my office but finding it difficult to get more intricate designs due to rough edges on the etching making it an unsuitable product to sell.

I'm going to search for answers in the forums and hope to come to a conclusion and share my findings too :D

Welcome Nikos- depending on the size of the etching, you may be better off with the etching cream- Russ has a lot of videos on laser spot size that may be helpful. Gene
