20,000 Views Later... Here’s What I’ve Learned About Canvas Engraving

Got questions about laser engraving on canvas? After 20,000 views and 6+ months of testing, I’m answering the most common ones, prep, paint, settings, mistakes, and what actually works. From canvas types to paint layers, laser settings, testing, reusing materials, and even mistakes—this video covers everything you’ve been asking in the comments and Facebook groups. 🔈 Quick heads-up: We had a couple of unexpected mic issues during the livestream. My wife’s mic completely died (even though we tested it beforehand), and mine came in a bit too loud. The info is all there and the conversation was great, but I’ll be posting a cleaned-up version soon with better audio for those who prefer it. Thanks for sticking with us! 🛎️ Don’t forget to subscribe for weekly content, tips, and behind-the-scenes streams.
