Title: Acrylic Scratch repair questions
Post by: Neogenesis on July 25, 2016, 12:27:42

Morning Everyone,

I'm taking on a acrylic tank rehab project, and has some significant scratching that I need to repair.  I know I'm going to need to sand, however I have a question about polishing.  I've ordered the Novus polishing compound, however I'm unsure what buffing wheels I should use, and what speed?  I was looking at some 4" foam wheels to use with a drill, but wanted some input from someone that may have done it before.  Foam or Cloth, and what speed?

Thanks for the feedback!!!

I would wait for Lazy to reply. I saw him polishing up his invert tanks and then saw his finished product. Amazing to say the least!
