Cork Handle Engraving

Hi All,
I recently purchased a laser engraver to engrave cork handle. Im wondering if a person can or should put some kind of clear coat over it help protect and preserve the engraving. Any thoughts, comments, or tips are appreciate.

Brandon

When you finish I suggest you apply any good cork seal product and always clean or wipe down the cork after use.

Mike the laser is a Welquic. Its been good so far. Wish you can do a little more with the software but it does the trick. Im not sure how to put pictures on here.

I'm guessing the software is a basic CAM program, a graphic software program would give better files to export to the laser's software.

Are you possibly going to do this as a service or just personal use?
