Tip 1: Clean the Glass Surface Before Engraving

Cleaning the glass surface is a crucial first step before engraving. It not only helps ensure the accuracy and quality of the engraving but also prevents adverse effects during the process. Cleaning removes dirt, grease, and other impurities from the surface, ensuring that the laser can accurately irradiate the glass. Additionally, a clean glass surface aids in the uniform propagation of laser energy, avoiding excessive local heat that may cause glass breakage or uneven engraving effects. Therefore, it is essential to thoroughly clean the glass surface before engraving, using ethanol and a lint-free cloth to wipe it clean.

Tip 2: Apply Paint to the Engraved Glass Surface

Applying paint to the glass surface during engraving is a critical technique. By applying acrylic paint, the refraction of the laser is reduced, allowing the glass to absorb energy more fully and maintain stability during laser engraving. Additionally, spraying black paint or adhering colored paper is also a common method.

Tip 3: Clean the Engraved Glass Product

After waiting for the laser engraving to complete and cool down, use an appropriate solvent or cleaner (such as acetone, alcohol, or paint remover) to spray or apply it to the painted areas. These chemicals can typically dissolve the paint, making it softer and easier to remove. After spraying, gently wipe the painted areas with a soft cloth.

The above tips provide key techniques for achieving laser engraving on glass materials. LONGER is definitely a great helper for making glass decorations.
