Just turn, sand and if you want to use Micro Mesh, (I don't) I sand to wet sand to 800 or 1000 grit then polish with Novus coarse then Novus fine scratch remover and assemble, it wouldn't help any thing putting a friction polish on Acrylic, The exception would be if there were worthless wood, or some other organic substance in the Acrylic, Then it becomes necessary to use preferably CA to finish and seal the wood, Pasta, Spices, or what ever is embedded in the Acrylic.
