SAFETY REMINDER

Before using any new material, always confirm it is laser-safe. Many common materials, especially plastics like PVC, vinyl, and ABS, release toxic and corrosive fumes when lasered. These fumes can permanently damage your Glowforge and are extremely hazardous to your health. When in doubt, check with the material manufacturer.
