 Just thought I'd put a "how to" Thread together. Yes Acrylic will scratch, the good news is it can be restored. In fact I'm even thinking about making a restore "kit" that would include smaller sizs of the compounds that I use, as they come in 48oz bottles. Anyway, I started with a piece of rejected acrylic and made a "Test" pattern to sow you what was possible. |
