This project starts out with  using the text feature, the Hello is edited to say Dog, with this Dog word a font is picked from a list on the computer. It is then copied and pasted to make a second one.

Step 6) One the laser machine finishes up it's job the top paper film that is one the acrylic acts as a mask, with the proper plastic compatible paint it is painted before removing the film. I use the air assist blowing air to aid in the paint drying faster by letting it blow over top of it. Once the project is dry a chain is added.
