Help with Acrylic scratches (1 Viewer)

I have read, watched how to buff out or sand out the scratches on acrylic. I dont want to do it. Nuff said.

So what exactly are you wanting then? It's not that scary

Sympathy..... JK. I need to talk to someone who has done it. Should I try it first with a buffer and Novus #3 and #2. Or should I just go straight to sanding?

David/reeftopia just did a 700 gallon tank.
Maybe he will jump on this.

You have my sympathy...

I have a scratch on my 400 that I'm going to need to buff out...


I believe Ostentum has done it and like Diesel said Reeftopia just polished up his 700g that he sold. I wish I could give you advice but alas I'm a newbie at it to

I have done 4 tanks now. There are a couple I need to take out of the front of my tank if you want to come by sometime. I sand the deep ones down first then come back with the novus 3,2,1.

What grit(S) sand paper do you use ?

I used 400 then 800 then 1000 then novus 3,2,1 You probably could get by with less steps but how clear do you want it?
