LF Someone or company to buff out acrylic
 

I am looking for someone or a company that will buff out scratches in a acrylic aquarium. I tried by myself and it's not working out. I have the supplies one would need.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

It depends on the depth of the scratch. It is extremely difficult to remove deep scratches without having to remove a lot of acrylic and potentially weaken your tank. Light scratches are much easier. Start with novus 3 for heavy scratches and work you way to a novus 1 to give you a fine polish. You can use a high rpm corded drill bit with a foam polishing pad attachment and patience. There are a lot of videos on the web.

Ideally do it with a empty tank as the novus creams are likely toxic to your tank inhabitants.

Tank Buff
 

How big is your tank in gallons? Dimensions? Thickness of acrylic for side panels and top and bottom if different. How deep are your scratches?

I don’t recommend Novus 3 to polish tanks or use drill and small diameter drill pad. Let’s add wool pads to the list of don’t do’s as well.
