Lazer Cutting Take Two



After the mistake that was made yesterday with the lazer cutting we
went back for a second attempt.
We tried a few different cuts, the first we did too fine and it warped
the acrylic, the second was also a bit too thin and got caught when 
cutting out. 
We finally got one that cut out fine and didn't warp, however the edges around the lettering were a bit fluffy and weren't very clean cut.
We went to try it out anyway and see what happened when we used it 
to emboss. 
We have a few attempts in the press and they did emboss but the pressure
was hard to get even in the presses and the emboss wasn't even across the
letters.
We then thought we would try putting it thorough the rolling press......
that was a mistake, it just cracked our acrylic and it was useless!
We went back and made one more template which was working but it just wasn't as clean cut as we hoped so we went back to the drawing board.....
