Anyone have a buffing wheel?
« on: November 02, 2015, 07:57:49 PM »
I picked up an acrylic tank that has some scratches, and I'd like to try my hand at buffing them out. If anyone has a small buffer that I can borrow, please get in touch.

just a fyi from buffing a really long 40g, 1000 grit sandpaper will buff out if you're using the 3 stage novus kit

 I preferred to ask someone I know who has done it before,  as opposed to someone I don't know that maybe got good results the one time that you shot the video and every other time it turned out like crap.

Just do what they do in the video.  If it turns out good for them it will for you... It's not like you're talking about going off the top rope,  like Superfly Snuka,  during a homemade pron video.

That's what I did a few years ago. Tank looked great when I was done.
