Acryilic Polishing

[1coolvw]

I have a small non-aquaria part that I would like to polish (it was machined and has a poor surface)

Does any one have an acrylic kit that I could borrow or pay a small fee to borrow?

Thanks for looking and hope you can help

or use a torch and just keep the flame moving

Flame polishing can cause crazing. So be careful. polishing with buffing wheel and compounds works very well. Depending on how deep the scratches are You'll have to use a DA wheel starting with 1200 grit sand paper and work your way up 1800,2000,2400 to red and white buffing compounds. And you have to work the whole area around the scratch or you'll get fat man, skinny man syndrome in the acrylic. If there just light scuff marks though you can probably get away with just the compounds. good luck
