I now know that there's one more thing I can add to the list of materials that does not cut well on a laser cutter: PETG VCT PVC - Produces chlorine gas, which destroys the lungs and leads to a slow death Formica Here's the results. I like the black one better to begin with. It kind of looks like lava rock, and you can't see the burns as well. The burnt edges on the gray kind of look like a shadow. Anyway, you decide. Thanks for the idea, Mike.
