Masking (transfer tape)
Keeps char off
Masking means applying paper transfer tape over the material before cutting or engraving. Smoke and resin land on the tape, not the wood — peel it and the surface underneath is clean.
Wide rolls (12") mask a sheet in one pull. It is the cheapest quality upgrade in the hobby, and a genuine consumable to buy in bulk.
