Very nice work- so Cermark has a spray for glass that makes the engraving that dark?

No..cermark is bonded to the glass where the laser hits

The nice man at Laserbond 100 just sent me a fresh spraycan to replace the last [defective] one. I will test that when [if] I ever get this laser sorted out. More parts coming this week.

John. That looks superb.

Thank you btw. I'd asked a while back if anyone had tried Cermark on glass and what the quality was like and that looks as good as I hoped it would. You've made up my mind. I'm getting a can.

Thanks John. You may regret that offer ;)

1. Is that a vectorised graphic you used on the glass or your own design?
2. Did you alter the interval at all in scan mode? I've found different graphics can be improved by adjusting this - no logic to my method, just tinkering until I'm pleased.
3. Does the colouring remain on the glass for long? I'm wondering if it wears badly after repeated washing.

I'm in the United Kingdom and I've only found the 12oz can available here. It costs about £100 (140 USD) so I've not been able to convince myself it's a worthwhile purchase until now.

I checked out the link and a 2oz can is well worth a shot, but as Gary said it doesn't seem to be available in UK unless you go for the 12oz can. I'm busting to try this on some glass jars for myself, but as a personal use and general hobbyist at £100 I simply can't justify the purchase. If only there was a smaller capacity option available.
