Salty Pickle Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) I have recently scored a 60 gallon TruVu acrylic frag tank and I have no idea how to take care of acrylic, lol. There are no scratches in it (nothing that comes close to catching a finger nail or can be felt), just a few scuffs and a couple spots where it looks like it may have come in contact with some sort of chemical and dripped down. How can I buff out the scuffs and what looks to be etching? Edited June 14, 2016 by Salty Pickle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowderBlue Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 do you have a hand held polisher? Thats what i used on an old acrylic tank i had. Just some super minor compound at a lowish speed. If you dont and your near oregon city you can borrow my snap on one. Its air driven so youd need a compressor.

Jorge Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Multicraft in tigard has Novus polishing kit 1, 2 , and 3. The also have a buffing pad you can attach to your drill. I'd start with compound 2 and 1. GL! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What size compressor would you recommend? I understand the bigger the better, but what size do you think I could get away with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
