Just for fun.

would this work for a tile installed in a bathroom or is it likely to not fare very well because of the condensation / mould potential?

(I am still conducting the dishwasher trials ).

Does the wife know?

I have on occassion been known to dry out dessicant in the oven....... (shh!).... timing is eveything

Part 2…

Trying different laser techniques using UCCNC and the Norton (Paint / Paint stripper) method.
The etching is certainly permanent and cannot be removed with stripper or solvents but it is nowhere near a dark as Rob’s previously linked example and I don’t yet know what is causing the herring-bone styrations.

Obviously it is work in progress.

Hi Andre99,

The process is really simple…
Use a cheap, glazed ceramic tile – spray with a thin coating of white paint and leave to dry (rattle can undercoat is just fine) – use the UCCNC laser plugin to laser your picture onto the tile (slow feed-rate) – remove the residual paint with thinners or paint remover and that’s it, tile completed.
Like all things it may take some practice to get it perfect but it is not difficult.

Hi Andre99,

You have to first learn how to use the UCCNC 'Laser Engravin Plugin'. I suggest you practice on waste cardboard using different Modes and settings until you are able to get reliable and satisfactory results. It is not difficult and it is essential learning.
Chose an image which has a good contrast ratio to practice with (download something from the net) and just keep practicing until you get it right. Then try a tile and see how you get on.

Ore must is just a normal color photo.
Maybe you can explain how you do it in steps.
