Ok. So all the reviews I read were either "Great, exactly what I needed" OR "Stay away its no good!" There wasn't a middle ground OR anyone with actual pictures of these "works great" results. So to be clear, this product is to be used with engraving lasers it doesn't matter the brand or the wattage. Its primarily designed for metal but I used it on polyethylene water jugs. When you try to engrave resin or plastic most lasers just turn the surface white. I wanted the design to show up black on the surface of the jug so I bought this spray. When it arrived I though I got the wrong product because the aerosol can was small and only a couple of ounces, I'm sorry to say but the pictures make it look like you're getting an average sized aerosol spray can. I applied the spray to the water jug following the instructions. The spray is an opaque grey and takes about 20 - 30 seconds to dry. Every time I applied it, it only took a single pass to provide full coverage on the hobby surface. Basically it takes very little of the product to prep your product for engraving/marking. Once I worked out the exposure setting for my laser (atomstack x7 pro) these are the results I got. So I would say, it "works great", it does, its VERY expensive per ounce (hence the 3 stars on value) but it DOES do what its supposed to do.

It's crazy expensive, but it makes a much darker and more consistent mark on stainless than anything else I tried. If you're not concerned with the mark being completely black, cold galvanizing spray works pretty good, but there is concern with fumes being toxic (make sure the laser is vented to the outdoors). NOTE: i shook up my little can for literally 1-2 minutes before each use and was able to get every drop of liquid out of the can. Make sure you do that or you might run out of propellant before you run out of product. From what I understand, Cermark is actually a fine glass powder that gets burned into the oxide layer of the metal. You can feel a raised surface there. It's much more prominent than anything else I've tried (plaster of paris, graphite dry lube, cold galvinizing spray). If you want a dark, permanent mark (like 80 grit on an orbital sander for 10 minutes can't get rid of all traces of it), then probably worth it to just bite bullet and buy this stuff.

This may seem pricey but is a must have if you engrave on glasses with a laser tool. Easy to use. Sprays on evenly and you only need a little as coverage is amazing. Washes off without an issue with water . I've used on glasses and metal water bottles as well.

Very poor mini can. I used it only 2–3 times for small engraving on metal pens and it was already empty. The spray comes out in uneven drops instead of a fine mist, so it’s hard to apply properly. I’ve used a different marking spray before and it lasted for many more projects, so this result was surprising. Maybe I received a defective can, I didn’t realize it right away. The marking itself works, but the can quality and coverage are terrible. Not worth the price. I would not buy it again.

Absolutely love this product and need it in a bigger size. I do laser engraving and due to having a diode laser I need marking spray for certain materials in order for my laser to etch or engrave on them. It is easy to use and easy to clean off once done.

Worked well using a 10W Xtools laser, but only worked for around 6 coffee mugs... tough to spray thin coat too so problem had a little more on than needed... then the tip clogged and only go one more mug before it emptied... fun but $$

Works great and due to the smaller size it is offered at a better price.
