How do you get the edges so nice and polished like that? Any tips?
|
Isn't it acrylic?

Thanks guys,
Jason, the seam work i still need practice on, still too many bubbles for my liking....but i used the pin method on this one, it seemed to work well. The joint is filled with glue when its actually lifted about a 32`nd of the panel its being glued to, then pins are removed after the glue has tacked up a few seconds. Tony, theres two methods that i use to polish, first i always joint or route all finished edges before they are installed. Depending on the piece and the type of acrylic, i may use the novus 3 step polishing compounds and a buffer wheel on my bench grinder...or i may flame the edges, using a propane torch. when flaming you have to be careful, because you cannot glue too near that area afterwards, the acrylic will craze. Marc. |
I've never really had much luck with flaming. I guess you need a practised hand - I ended up overheating a spot and it bubbled up on me. :neutral:
This pin method sounds interesting - I can't quite picture it, how do you remove the pins, do you just fill the pinholes with weldon 16 to make them invisible? Sorry for the hijack BTW - tank looks great. |
