More fun with lasers, Lightburn, and ceramic tile

Robert,

Please refer to the first post in this thread. I describe the process – aka Norton White Tile (NWT) method – and provide photos of all the materials I use. A low-power diode laser (2.3W) mounted on virtually any CNC/laser engraver machine, flat-white paint/primer (it’s has titanium-dioxide ingredient that does the magic!), acetone/thinner, and ceramic tiles (or glass) are all you need. The image is a slightly-raised (embossed?) image that is fused to the surface of the ceramic/glass and provides a tough, scratch/scrape resistant image that requires no protective coating… as in the video in my last post. I’ve not checked its weather-resistance…

I do not do FB or other social media but there is a gigantic FB group devoted to all things NWT… Nicky Norton is the author/guru of the method. I’ve tried to save you the effort of visiting that platform… but that’s the place to go for further information.

– David
