Some people are more sensitive to the smell than others, some people say it smells a bit fishy or of burnt wood, some people enjoy the smell, some don't notice anything at all and some people dislike it. It won't be very noticeable (if at all) on larger products such as plaques/mixed media boards etc but may be more noticeable on fiddly and/or engraved designs where the laser cutting is more concentrated. All substrates contains glues or binding agents in their manufacture (particularly MDF) and the intense heat of the laser beam can create this aroma. HOT OFF THE PRESS!! As our products are freshly cut to order and packed soon thereafter, you may sometimes notice a smell that is caused by the intense heat of the laser beam burning through the substrate. If you like the designs or prefer the smaller sizes but don't like the dark finish, you can lift it with colour washing, dry brushing or using diluted gesso to make the design pop. ![]() ![]() It is only by laser cutting (rather than stamping or routing) that intricate designs can be made. The edges of laser cut items will also always be darker for the same reason. This is due to the laser process that cuts the substrate by precision burning and there is nothing we can do about this. Intricate designs in smaller sizes and some of the mini shapes will be much darker than other products, particularly when using 2mm MDF. This is not a defect and will not affect the end use of the product as it's on the back. PLEASE NOTE: Laser cutting will leave some sooty residue on the back of MDF pieces although we take steps to minimise this as much as possible - it can be more pronounced the smaller/more intricate the design. Larger pieces can also be stamped, collaged, crackled and more - see how it's done over at the Design Team Blog ! They are also ideal for gilding, staining and painting. ![]() Use inks and crackle glazes to enhance this further without altering the base colour. MDF WOOD (2mm and 3mm) shapes and embellishments need little or no further enhancement if you like the vintage look.
