Default Restoring Acrylic Tank

This site also sells Micro-Mesh sandpaper. I was told to start at 1500 if
you have large scratches and the finest mesh size you should need is 6000:

I ordered last week, and shipping was prompt. I'll have to try it out on my
tank when I have some time.

Yep , a scaled down version of Micro Mesh. Takes a little time and

patience but
works very well.
BTW, if you want the full kit go to www.micro-surface.com

Here is a link to a scrath removal kit:

I have used this myself on scratches on my acrylic tank. It is kind
of scary to use since the abrasive pads used initially look like they
are completely ruining the tank. As you gradually use finer and finer
pads, the scratches disappear.
