Today we go thru cutting the vinyl mask and preparation for etching into steel. Figured I would share my process of making the decal, preparing the material, and applying the decal with heat.
I want to test to see how deep I can get an etch and if its possible for me to make a branding iron that can be used to leave a makers mark on wood or leather. I do not have a CNC machine, nor do I really want to attack a hand engraving for this just yet, but if I can come up with something that works, why not!?
