The gfi doesn’t trip due to the amperage spike durning the burn?
I made a rig to burn designs into tabletops following grooves I carved and filled with slightly salty water, gets me decent cash on Etsy lol.
My wife brings tables to me with designs the person wants, I carve and burn it in, let the electricity do the work for me. I’m not artistic enough to do it freehand.
One time I burned spongebob and crew into a kids table and all the characters looked possessed, so I tell people to stay away from characters. Plus the burn is never clean, spongebob looked like a demon with lightning powers possessed him.
No I never had an issue with the outlet tripping but it added a safety step I appreciated when I arced 3k volts through my chest because I'm an immortal dummy.
Use a baking soda water mixture I get better results vs salt.
I want the salt to slow the burn so I can be cleaner, does baking soda speed or slow the spread at all?
I’ve only gotten 700 dc or 480 ac so far, once each. 480 was a jackasses fault for shoving me, the 700 was two equipment faults at the same time, arc flash, hand covered in black soot, hot, and completely numb to the elbow. I was fine, but damn my eyes burned, safety glasses don’t protect from intense light at all, go figure.
I think the baking soda slows the burn a bit, it also makes a more diffuse burn. So if you want clean lines salt may work better idk.
I was grabbing the leads from someone because they were getting them too close and if he died his mom would murder me. I was turning away yelling "dont get these too close you'll kill yourself!" And I got them too close and almost killed myself. Oh irony.
