I can truly say thais is a very nice way to ensure that the epoxy stays in place

Great ideas. I'm also a woodturner (lathe) and have used a thin piece of Corian by gluing it between two pieces of wood and when I make the bowl it has a ring around bowl that adds a lot to the end result. I mention this to say I went to a local fabricator of Corian, asked if they had any scraps I could buy and explained what it was for. They GAVE me as much as I wanted from the scrap bin that was a perfect size. Needless to say I made the bowl and brought it back as a thank you and get some more Corian. I now have a 30W diode laser and some leftover material. I'm going to try your method and see what happens. Thanks for the idea. BTW I watched a couple of your videos and you have a new subscriber. Tomorrow I'll be checking out your other videos.

It's wonderful everything that can be done by combining epoxy resin and lasers 😍 Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the new ideas- never thought to use epoxy this way. There's many uses for a laser cutter!

Hi 👋, Trotec, Laser USA . I found this very interesting., as I have been going onto different websites and YouTube links to try and find out a bit more about lasers, cotton and engraving, and especially with resin, I have worked with wood all my life, I’m now in my 70s living in France and I need to find something to keep myself amused and to try and earn some extra pennies, it took me a little while, but I’ve not been on to a website that shows your products and pricing, I was hoping that I might be able to afford something, sadly, this is way out of my price range,
I will have to make do the way are used to do things years ago, that is with a fret saw or coping saw,
But still a very interesting territorial, Phil from the moulin France,

That UV epoxy is pretty cool stuff I'm going to have to try it sometime

Great Video – Thanks Laser Dave
One comment – Using a torch to remove bubbles in the epoxy resin is the most efficient method. However folks should understand that it’s not the heat that removes the bubbles, it’s the CO2 from the combustion of the Butane. If you get close and gently exhale over the work piece, you will get the same results (you exhale CO2). I have used this method many times on 2 part epoxy. That said, I have never worked with UV cured epoxy resins, but I suspect the results will be similar.

Very nice. I have a laser on the way. Hope I can do half as good as I have seen here.

This is a cool idea. What type of laser are you using to engrave the Corian?

Also, I already use epoxy resin. You want a well ventilated area for working with it. Most tabletop, casting and standard resins require 8 to 24 hours cure time. Rubbing alcohol is perfect for cleaning up spills. I do love how I can combine my lasers with epoxy resin for some very cool projects.

Laser Dave,
Can you use the resin doming on the tabletop resin? How large of a piece have you domed. Thank you for all the instructional videos.
