justsayrow Posted February 20, 2014 #1 Posted February 20, 2014 I'm working a model that includes wood cut with laser. this is great for the tiny details but i am having an issue of getting the char from the edges all over the pieces, smudging them, as i try to sand the edges. Anyone have success managing the char residue????

rtropp Posted February 22, 2014 #2 Posted February 22, 2014 Many of us have similar problems, I'd be interested to see if there any new suggestions. Richard Quote RichardMember: The Nautical Research Guild Atlanta Model Shipwrights Current build: Syren
Q A's Revenge Posted February 22, 2014 #3 Posted February 22, 2014 This has come up several times but I can't remember the remedy. Apart from the look of the parts there where concerns about glue bonding as well. I believe scraping was mentioned and perhaps Isopropyl? Quote
timo4352 Posted February 22, 2014 #4 Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Take my advice with a grain of salt as I am just a beginner, but I was just watching some very informative videos that showed the char being scraped off with a single edge razor blade on flat sections, dremel (carefully) on curved sections. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TN2PGGwi0NM Edited February 22, 2014 by timo4352 justsayrow 1 Quote Tim "That's a fine looking pair of oars you got there, Sir"" 'em aint 'ores --- that's me wife and me daughter!
