if you do flame polish though, be sure you practice a lot first, its very easy to have your plexi bubble

Flame polishing works very well with practice, but don't do it to edges that are to be solvent welded. The resulting bond will be weak.
I'll procrastinate tomorrow.
Ok I might have to try it out and see what happens. I just started playing with bending plexi and so far its worked out great. Might do a few pieces for the inside of Honeycomb.
Thanks all for your info.
Sorry, I thought you had run across the concept of flame polishing before. I should have been lees abstruse.
I like plexi but I prefer lexan if possible since polishing it tends to take a bit better. It's a lot harder, and you'll spend a few extra dollars but the stuff is much harder and less prone to scratching as much as plexi. If I polish plexi though I will use something non-abrasive if I can, meguiars plastic polish tends to work really well. There was a 3 step plastic polish that was made I used but I had a hell of a time finding it so I stopped using, I'll see if I can hunt down one of the bottles in my garage, it was a 3 step, but it was freaking amazing on plexi/lexan and generic plastic.
You're thinking of Novus polish. Dunno where it went.
