Laser Experts Show You How to Avoid Surface Burning Using Paper Mask on Your Glowforge or Laser

In this video we show how to improve the finish of your laser cut parts by applying a paper mask. We go over why we started doing this, masking tips we've accumulated over the years, and finally we show side-by-side laser cutting and engraving laser results using different materials with and without a mask applied.
