Direct Answer
Proof TYVOK A1 Mini round wood coaster edge masking, smoke marks, cleanup halos, and rim spacing on one sample before making a first housewarming set.
The Failure to Catch First
The first risk in round wood coasters and first housewarming sets is specific: round wood coaster edges showing uneven mask lines, smoke marks, or cleanup halos after engraving. Check that condition directly before treating the project as repeatable.
One TYVOK A1 Mini Sample to Approve
- Mask one round coaster and inspect the rim after engraving and cleanup.
- Check for smoke marks, cleanup halos, and crowding near the curved edge.
- Move the design inward before making the housewarming set if the rim looks uneven.
Rework Trigger
Do not continue when round wood coaster edges showing uneven mask lines, smoke marks, or cleanup halos after engraving still appears in the sample. Fix that visible failure before adding more pieces to the run.
