PURE ORIGINAL INGREDIENTS Borax Powder – A Game-Changer for Wood Engraving with Xtool P2 55W CO2 LaserAs 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 UseMixing 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 & ResultsHere’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 WorksBorax 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 useCons:• 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 ThoughtsIf 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!

Need clothes cleaner - buy this.My one con (not enough for star removal) is that its hard to dissolve but not impossible.I add this borax, washing soda and laundry detergent to a bucket, then add hot hot water about 2 cups worth to dissolve all product. Then fill up with room temp water to wash my laundry in a protable washing machine.This borax really gets the dirt out of clothing. You may think your clothes are clean just with laundry detergent but i suggest you buy this mix up some and let clothes soak with it in a tub you will be amazed at all the dirt laundry detergent doesnt remove.Washing soda helps neutralize smells more, borax to remove ground in dirt/oils/bacteria.It works and it works well.The bag it comes it opens easy and closes just as easy. Although I'd prefer a more durable bag as any water getting on it compromises it (the bag)Came well packaged with a plastic bag around it to help with any powder crystals leaking out during transit.Its a staple in my laundry routine.

Need a heavy duty cleaner with a little bit of grit to really SCRUB away the dirt? This is the stuff!I'm familiar with the old fashioned TWENTY MULE TEAM BORAX of yesteryear and this is it in a plain brown paper bag!Take a pinch to wash your hands after doing dirty work, put a handful in your laundry, or a handful in your bucket for scrubbing a mess on the floor or in your bathtub to clean up really gritty dirt. Makes no difference, it does the job!

The product works well for blacksmithing although next time I'll have to purchase some with the flux. I did not like the packaging it tears too easily and can get wet very easily. It has a clean soapy smell.

Nice package and will use in a warsp killer I saw on utube.

Use it in my laundry, works great. A little goes a long way. Gets stains out just as good as the 5mule stuff.

Great product and I love supporting small business

It firms up too much
