badfish03 Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Dont know if this will work for sure or not but they make a polishing compound for buffing rocks to a high sheen after tumbling them. It comes in varying sizes diamond dust in the 1 micron or smaller range should work well. Wet it, put it on a buffing wheel on a dremel drill and go to town on the lip. It will either white it out or polish it till it glows. Can usually be found online or at a local rock shop that carries lapidary supplies.

jigmeister Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 I think Tap plastics sells a kind of polish like that for plastics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROBZILLA Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Rob a trick to do is before working on you lexan, tape it with a couple layers of tape then cut. you will see a diference in how good your cut will be and when you drag the piece your working on your saw or what ever, it won't hurt it!

Robby.[/quote'] This is Etch you're talking to. He's still probably cuttung them out with a Box Cutter! I've been using my Dremel with the metal cutting wheel to cut with some pretty good results. I trace the lip onto a mailing label and use that as a cutting template, leaving all the protective coats on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
