AIEEEEEEARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGH! I guess I just learned my lesson about keeping my mag scraper up in the corner of my tank. Is there anyway to remove scratches from the inside of a tank while there is water in it or is it a drain (and completely empty) so you can buff the scratches out proposition. -K PS. I didn't yell at my 6 year old. > Is there anyway to remove scratches from the inside > of a tank while there is water in it or is it a drain (and completely > empty) so you can buff the scratches out proposition. There's a product used in aviation to remove scratches from acrylic windshields called "MicroMesh." It contains several different grades of abrasive cloth. The usual use is to polish with a medium grit or coarser until the scratches are out and then work through the finer grits until you're really just polishing the acrylic. It's rather labor-intensive. George Patterson Forgive your enemies. But always remember who they are. > There's a product used in aviation to remove scratches from acrylic > windshields called "MicroMesh." http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem.asp?idproduct=RB1551 Seen this and includes wet applications. I've never used it, so I'm not necessarily recommending it. --Kurt * Kelsey Cummings wrote, On 12/26/2006 8:41 PM: > AIEEEEEEARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGH! > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > PS.

Try the micromesh for the acrylic. Wayne Sallee Wayne's Pets Wayne@WaynesPets.com |
