Instruction

Step1: Sand copper sheet with 220grit sand paper, spray with metal degreaser and scrub well.

Sand well and degrease with a metal degreaser.  I use the degreaser from sculpt Nouveau.  Any grease from your fingers or other source will stop the laser from marking properly.

Step2: Dry well and spray will brilliance laser marking spray.

I have tried all the laser sprays and brilliance works best on copper. You can mark copper without spray, but you will be much better results with it.
