I was wondering what is your preferred method for finishing acrylics. After your sanding is finished what do you do/use?
ron, do you use this while the blanks are ON the lathe?Sandpaper to 1200, then white rubbing compound ,then jewelers rouge. Nice finish.
and pick my nose and wipe it on the blank.

Left or right nostril?I sand through 400 or 600 and then wet MicroMesh to 12000
and pick my nose and wipe it on the blank.

Pretty much the same as the rest except use Brasso metal polish on final step. If you have scratches on your watch face or I-pod screen. The Brasso with a soft cloth does wonders as well.
Yes, it works very well .. looks like a wet mirror at the end of the three steps .. if you sanded well and were fortunate, you might be able to use only the last two and get nearly the same results .. I have three bottles, extra cut rubbing compound, standard cut rubbing compound, finishing glaze (?) .. it works great!Anyone ever try 3M Finnesse It polish? I've used it on High Gloss finishes with hollow forms and was wondering if it would be good with the Acrylics as a final polish.

Almost spit coffee on the screen LMAO Actually that might fill in scratches hmm. LOL
In the photo lab, we often used 'nose grease' on negatives to fill in scratches.
A little oil from the side of the nose fills in a scratch long enough to print it
and does no damage.
I forgot to watch a new employee close enough as he was making the
enlargements.. had told him to use a little nose grease on scratches, but
when I checked up on him I found him buried to the second knuckle.
Yup, nothing like a big juicy greenie to bring the shine out!!

Once you have the nose pick on the blank, how do you spread it evenly??:devil:

MicroMesh to 12,000 and then use Meguire's Scratch-X (for cars) and then Meguire's polish.
Leaves 'em purty!

Charlie,
I was wondering why those blanks you sent me were stuck together. Industrial strength stuff you got there brother.
