Sexy Plexi
So who here knows, long-term, how the marriage of polywatch and plexi works out? Are there things to take into consideration, limits, etc?

I know, that's my question. Can polywatch be used indefinitely without issues for years and years?...

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. |
