Direct Answer: Peel The Mask Before Approving The Token
Run a TYVOK P2 basswood scorch mask lift test before wedding favor tokens so the masking removes cleanly after engraving.
Why Basswood Favors Need A Mask-Lift Test
xTool and forum project discussions often return to masking, smoke stain, and clean edges on small wood favors.
Masking, Smoke, And Fiber Checks
- Apply the same masking planned for the favor batch to one supplier-confirmed basswood token.
- Engrave the longest name or logo detail and peel the mask after the wood cools.
- Inspect the edge of the mark under the light used for packing or photography.
Wedding Favor Token Acceptance Table
| Check | Passing Evidence | Rework Signal |
|---|---|---|
| Mask peel | peels without lifting visible fibers | tears grain around letters |
| Smoke halo | edge stays clean after peel | brown halo remains around the mark |
| Small detail | date and initials stay readable | thin strokes fill or blur |
| Packing view | token looks clean in a group photo | one token looks different from the set |

Buyer Questions About Masked Basswood
Why not judge the token before peeling?
Masking can hide scorch and fiber lift, so the finished favor must be checked after peel.
Should every basswood lot be tested?
Yes. Grain, finish, and masking adhesive can vary enough to change the peel result.
What name should be used for the proof?
Use the longest guest name or smallest date text planned for the favor set.
Can this prove other wood species?
No. Keep the result tied to the exact basswood blank and masking material used in the test.
