How to prevent burning when laser cutting wood:
Techniques to prevent burn marks:
1) Use paper transfer tape
This method prevents the fumes from depositing soot on the surface of the wood and can be prepared effortlessly.
If you want to keep the other side of the wood clean, apply transfer tape to the other side as well.
2) Apply coating to the wood
Utilize a stain or coating (such as varnish) that is a different shade from the wood. Clean off the burned residue from the ornaments and then paint over the burn.
3) Adjust laser cutter settings
Play around with the speed and power settings until it is close to perfect.
