To David's comments, I agree that GLM06 is a less expensive option, but in my experience, having used the green laser mask for years before switching to Blazer Orange, it is a more difficult product to apply and manipulate and does not equal the quality of the finished product that the Blazer Orange does. GLM is not easy to reposition and is more difficult to weed off the remaining pieces that are left on the glass. If time saved and quality are any consideration, spring for the more costly product.

There are other masks that are made specifically for this that may be more cost effective, such as the GLM06 from JDS. Surfaces with a compound curve may require Blazer Orange, but that's a product made more specifically for sandcarving following laser engraving. I won't discount that it's an awesome product that every sandcarver should have in their tool kit.

Are you using Blazer Orange Mask to prevent chipping? We use 100 power 15 speed with a 30 watt laser. With your 80 watt you probably can get by with just 80 power 30 speed, but our experience is using the mask prevents a lot of the chipping issues. Suggest running a waste piece of glass with different settings and get a sample sheet of the orange mask from JDS to see what settings work best and if the mask helps solves your issues.

We have recently had a lot of issues with glass pieces chipping while engraving glass. We have Trotec Speedy 300 80 watt. Just wondering what setting everyone else is using when lasering glass. We have a new employee and I think the setting got changed and we are really struggling. Any help would be appreciated.
