Does anyone have a link to the flame polishing tutorial that was posted here a while ago? I can't seem to find it. I frosted some smoked plexi, and it didn't come out as I expected.

Thanks,
Rick

This one? (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2326)

How large is the piece you frosted? If it is too big, you may not get the results you are expecting from the flame polish.

That's it. Right under my damn nose! Thanks Rankenphile. The piece is about 4" x 6". If I mess it up, no big deal. I bought a 28" x 36" sheet for $2 at a garage sale last summer. I'm going to use it to make drive bay covers for where my floppy drive would normally go.

I've already painted my DVD and CDRW drives. They need cleaned up a bit, but, I'm not too worried about that right now.

Oh, I'm thinking of doing an etch too, but maybe later. I don't have any other use for the plexi, so why not play around a little?
