PURE ORIGINAL INGREDIENTS Borax Powder (2 lb.), Pure Borax, Multipurpose Cleaning Agent, Ideal Slime

PURE ORIGINAL INGREDIENTS Borax Powder – A Game-Changer for Wood Engraving with Xtool P2 55W CO2 Laser As a small business owner working with laser engraving and custom designs, I’m always on the hunt for materials that enhance the quality of my work. Recently, I tried PURE ORIGINAL INGREDIENTS Borax Powder for wood engraving using my Xtool P2 55W CO2 laser, and the results blew me away! Application & Ease of Use Mixing the Borax solution was simple and hassle-free. I followed a basic method: 1. Mixing Ratio: I combined the Borax powder with water until it formed a smooth, consistent solution. 2. Application: Using a brush, I evenly applied the solution onto the wood surface and allowed it to dry completely before engraving. The application process was smooth, and the solution adhered well to the wood, prepping it perfectly for engraving. Performance & Results Here’s where it really stood out. The Borax powder dramatically improved the contrast and depth of my engravings: • Dark, Crisp Lines: The engraving came out rich, deep black—something that’s often tricky to achieve on wood. • Enhanced Detail: Fine lines and intricate designs showed up beautifully, with increased sharpness and definition. • Minimal Residue: Post-engraving cleanup was simple, with very little soot or residue to deal with. Why It Works Borax acts as a flux, altering the chemical reaction during laser engraving. It helps carbonize the wood more effectively, resulting in that bold, dark finish without over-burning or damaging the surface. Pros: • Intensifies engraving contrast (perfect deep black marks) • Easy to mix and apply • Cost-effective (a little goes a long way) • Non-toxic and pure—safe for workshop use Cons: • Drying time: You need to let the solution dry fully before engraving to avoid steam or uneven burns. • Trial & error: Different woods might require slight adjustments to laser power/speed settings for optimal results. Final Thoughts If you’re into laser engraving on wood and want rich, dark engravings without using paints or stains, PURE ORIGINAL INGREDIENTS Borax Powder is a must-try. It’s now a staple in my engraving process, especially for projects that demand high contrast and detail. Pro Tip: Start with medium laser settings and adjust based on the wood type. I found that slightly lower speeds and moderate power gave the best results when paired with the Borax solution. Overall, this product elevated my engraving game, and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone using an Xtool P2 55W CO2 laser or similar machine!

Good product

I use this mixed with pancake syrup and a little water to make a paste. Makes for fantastic bait and kill for ants. If you periodically get the small "sugar" ants, this will work for you. They attack it furiously and take it back to their nest. Gone in 24 hours.

Thank you!!!

This is my second time ordering this and this time the grains are different. They are much coarser so they do not dissolve very well. The last batch was more like a powder and this one is like coarse sea salt. It makes it harder to use.
