Re: [APD] Re How to disinfect an acrylic and..any way to fix a scratch

["S. Hieber" <shieber at yahoo_com>]

You can polish out scratches in acrylic, espeically if they
are not too deep.  You need to go through progressively
finer abrasives. I think you can find kits for this form
some of the on-line fish stores and from some aquarium
makers -- here's one:

If you use a power tool, like a drill with a buffing pad on
it, don't run it too fast or hold it steady in one place --
you don't want heat build up to effect the polishing you
are attempting.
