Review: Great for Scroll Saw Patterns - Great for covering wood before sticking patterns on for scroll saw work. Leaves no residue after removing. Stays in place well.
Review: Diode Laser on Glass - Read Me - Rating how I used it: 0* I bought this tape to use on drinking glasses with my diode laser (SculpFun S6 Pro). I've done a lot of drinking glass etching, either cheap black acrylic paint sprayed on with an airbrush (a pain to apply, easy to remove) or standard flat black Rust-Oleum spray paint (easy to apply, a pain to remove). I was hoping tape would be almost as easy to apply as the spray paint and almost as east to remove as the acrylic - and it was - but even slowing down the laser and bumping up the power, all it did was burn off the tape, it did not affect the glass. My current theory is it's related to the light colour of the tape, that a darker tape would get hotter & the glass would be etched, I'll update this review if I later confirm this to me the case. My standard settings for (black) painted glass are 12 lines/mm, 300mm/min at 65% power. When these settings did nothing (to the glass - it looked like it did until I cleaned it), I tried 250mm/min at 100% power with and without air assist, no change. Upside is I didn't waste any glassware, haha, downside is I spent $10 on tape I can't use (for this purpose - I won't return it because 3M never claimed it could do this). I will see if I can colour the tape once applied with a fat (black) marker or dye; in case someone finds this review by searching 'laser' I'll mention I don't like to apply the acrylic paint by hand because the strokes were visible in the etch - this may be desirable sometimes, but generally it is not (at least for the stuff I have been etching). If adding colour makes the difference, I'll likewise update this review. 3550+ reviews when I bought it, but only two referred to using it in an off-label manner with laser engraving. I'm giving 5 stars because I believe this tape would be excellent for its intended purpose, but the written review is specific to how I was using it. I hope someone else with the same idea finds this review before trying it themselves, good luck!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic! I definitely recommend!
*by S***S on 28 August 2026*

Where has this been all my life?! This worked great - so much better than the blue tape. There was no bleed through and it was easy to peel off without taking paint with it, even after a week. I will definitely use this kind for all painting jobs!
