Review: PURE ORIGINAL INGREDIENTS Borax Powder A Game-Changer for Wood Engraving with Xtool P2 55W CO2 Laser - PURE ORIGINAL INGREDIENTS Borax Powder – A Game-Changer for Wood Engraving with Xtool P2 55W CO2 Laser As a small business owner working with laser engraving and custom designs, I’m always on the hunt for materials that enhance the quality of my work. Recently, I tried PURE ORIGINAL INGREDIENTS Borax Powder for wood engraving using my Xtool P2 55W CO2 laser, and the results blew me away! Application & Ease of Use Mixing the Borax solution was simple and hassle-free. I followed a basic method: 1. Mixing Ratio: I combined the Borax powder with water until it formed a smooth, consistent solution. 2. Application: Using a brush, I evenly applied the solution onto the wood surface and allowed it to dry completely before engraving. The application process was smooth, and the solution adhered well to the wood, prepping it perfectly for engraving. Performance & Results Here’s where it really stood out. The Borax powder dramatically improved the contrast and depth of my engravings: • Dark, Crisp Lines: The engraving came out rich, deep black—something that’s often tricky to achieve on wood. • Enhanced Detail: Fine lines and intricate designs showed up beautifully, with increased sharpness and definition. • Minimal Residue: Post-engraving cleanup was simple, with very little soot or residue to deal with. Why It Works Borax acts as a flux, altering the chemical reaction during laser engraving. It helps carbonize the wood more effectively, resulting in that bold, dark finish without over-burning or damaging the surface. Pros: • Intensifies engraving contrast (perfect deep black marks) • Easy to mix and apply • Cost-effective (a little goes a long way) • Non-toxic and pure—safe for workshop use Cons: • Drying time: You need to let the solution dry fully before engraving to avoid steam or uneven burns. • Trial & error: Different woods might require slight adjustments to laser power/speed settings for optimal results. Final Thoughts If you’re into laser engraving on wood and want rich, dark engravings without using paints or stains, PURE ORIGINAL INGREDIENTS Borax Powder is a must-try. It’s now a staple in my engraving process, especially for projects that demand high contrast and detail. Pro Tip: Start with medium laser settings and adjust based on the wood type. I found that slightly lower speeds and moderate power gave the best results when paired with the Borax solution. Overall, this product elevated my engraving game, and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone using an Xtool P2 55W CO2 laser or similar machine!
Review: This Borax is great & is NOT expensive...(?) - Well, the package arrived...inside of a package... & It claims "100% Pure Borax" — technically, ...that is not really possible, at all. HOWEVER! Practically, it could be 100% borax...(?) So, ...is it that?—Well! It certainly looks like very refined Borax. It is fine & consistent, &, in my hand, it certainly has the feel of Borax. It certainly smells like Borax. And it most certainly has the taste of Borax*. Unless I am caught up in some elaborate hoax... I'd say ~"Yes! This is practically 100% Borax;" OR, in other words, this is basically the purest Borax I personally have ever seen...(?) Which is great! Because contrary to what many reviewers have claimed, that this Borax is expensive; ...that's simply not true! It may be more expensive relative to Rio Tinto's "20,000 Mules Under the Sea..." BUT! That is a very different quality of Borax—it is packaged, distributed, stocked, & purchased to primarily be used as or with a detergent. And you might choose to purchase that Borax...that is still good. Because Borax is ubiquitous, and depending on what you are purchasing with Borax as an ingredient...and, rest assured, you are most likely purchasing Borax, even if you don't realize it...relatively speaking, you could be paying the same as this...(?) More than likely you are purchasing it anywhere from +100% (i.e., double) the price... +1000% the price... I'll stop at +10,000% the price, but that's NOT the ceiling...not by a long shot (…2oz by volume for $20...?—That is real...!!). Borax itself just happens to be one of those products with an incredibly broad range of use, yet wasn't handed down from generation to generation as a common use product...at least not in the traditional sense. Borax has been "reinvented" a hundred times over as part of all sorts of proprietary formulations for use in all sorts of industries. I've known about Borax for a long time...but purely by luck & not realizing its potential for some time after that! My freshman year in High School; the most Senior Shop Teacher was on his last year before retirement, he had managed the department since the day it had opened in 1964...and in 1964, Borax made for an excellent hand cleaner for young adults exiting a shop to go to their next class. & Nearly 35 yrs later, Borax made for an excellent hand cleaner for young adults exiting a shop to go to their next class. It still works as an excellent hand cleaner (some people experience irritation..? I've never seen that...); it's granular, it's an exfoliant...if you go to town with an exfoliant on your skin...yeah, you will experience irritation, Borax or not! I think this Borax is much more refined & consistent than competitors' offerings. This makes it easier to use in my opinion...(?) Especially as a booster for laundry detergent because Borax doesn't instantly dissolve in water...it takes time with larger granules and that only makes it less effective & is wasteful...(?). Anyhow, I am willing to recommend this Borax. It's a fine product at an unbelievably fair price. So is 20 Mules! It's just coarse & takes longer to dissolve (that's a limiting factor in my view). BUT! There are few products that I can think of with such a broad use value — do the research! Save money! You've been lied to your entire life!!! ...Well, maybe that's overselling it a bit, but you get my point...(?) BORAX! *DO NOT eat Borax!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Borax for my Health!
*by K***S on October 29, 2025*

I use Borax for health reasons. Borax is a naturally occurring compound that is rich in Boron. The health benefits are numerous. Do your research. You can buy Boron capsules but only in 3 mg capsules. Borax has much more Boron. I use 1/4 of a teaspoon in a liter of warm distilled water and lemon juice drinking throughout the day. Here are the benefits I experience. My bones and joints are pain free. Brain fog lifted. I sleep well. Skin is clear. I use for UTI’s bladder infections inflammation arthritis, autoimmune, etc. The benefits I have researched are endless and include fungal infections, lupus, hormone imbalances, osteoarthritis , osteoporosis, bone spurs, impotence and so much more. I do use the 20 team mule borax for my laundry and cleaning but since this brand is processed in a cleaning facility I prefer to use a brand such as Pure for my health journey. Again, do your research. I am not a doctor nor am I recommending you try borox for your health journey. I’m simply telling you my experience which has been absolutely amazing! You also have to change your diet to a clean diet of lots of fruits and vegetables, try juicing and smoothies, salads. Cut back on meats, specifically red meat. Eat Fish. Steer completely clear of processed foods and unfortunately, the middle section of the grocery store is packed full of processed foods.. fast food is processed food. Cut out refined sugar. Fruits are amazing for your health. Yes, they have natural sugar, which is completely different from refined Sugar. Cut back on carbs, carbs turns into sugar, and sugar turns into fat. Sickness is all around us due to our diet.. Cut out alcohol, alcohol is a poison and carcinogen, and is proven to cause cancer. Stop smoking. Exercise regularly You know what to do, Love yourself as your body is a temple.
