The lasered was worse but one piece surprised me.</p> <p>It crazed instantly, then over the next few hours got really bad, totally unusable. After redoing it and using acrylic paints, I looked at it again a few days later. Almost all of the crazing had healed as the solvents left. I know a lot of chemistry, but wish I did not have to keep getting lessons in the real world.</p> <hr /><a name="a6654_23"></a><p><b>From: Boz (CHEDDARHEAD)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6654.23">#23</a>]<br /> 17 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: ALL</b></p> Brian, you might be able to reduce some of the lining in the bottom of your engraving by defocusing your beam. IF you move your engraving piece .060" to .080" out of true focus, you will be using a much larger beam to engrave into the plastic. You might have to increase power, or slow it down a touch, but it should help smooth out the bottom of the engraved piece. <hr /><a name="a6654_24"></a><p><b>From: Larry B (PALMETTO)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6654.24">#24</a>]<br /> 18 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: ALL</b></p> Is that a real word..crazed?
