So who here knows, long-term, how the marriage of polywatch and plexi works out?

Are there things to take into consideration, limits, etc?

Mik..you know that Bryan is totally OCD about his pieces!

Bryan...being the same OCD that I am..I would think its on par with polishing...less the better but its a necessary evil...

mfer · 27 January 2012, 12:53 PM

Yeah, you are only taking off micro bits (assuming you don't have a deep gash). Just exactly like sanding wood really.

You've got a few millimeters to work with, no worries.

I've seen some gnarly acrylic crystals come back to life with polywatch (or equivalent) and a buffing wheel.

Of course, you can only go so far.
