As an aside, i am not looking to take over your planet. I am searching for the secrets of turning this mystical material - acrylic…..
The bane of my existence.

Good luck! Earthlings are controlled by... I can't say. But turning a 'mystical material (acrylic)' has a learning curve, but it is well worth the effort! Welcome to earth, from .... I won't disclose! Have FUN!

Greetings from Nebraska and welcome to the IAP community. My best advise on solving the mystery is to start with Alumilite blanks. Then before you get all the way up the ladder to Inlace Acrylester make a stop at Rhino Plastic blanks which are harder than Alumilite but not as difficult as Inlace. There are of course a whole host of brand name plastic blanks in between, but I don't have much experience with any other than the three in this post. - Dave

Gudday mate. Acrylic is fun, sharp tools and take your time, micro mesh and polish gives it's own reward.

Acrylic is "fun" in the same way banging your head off a wall repeatedly is fun when you stop ! The results can be stunning but the journeys a pain
but you're totally right that sharp tools and lots of time and polish give a great result, some / most of the time
