Acrylic Glass Scratch Removal


Cad101

Recommended Posts

Do people use these nail polishes for removing scratches from acrylic glass.

I start with the rough grit which really isn't that rough down to the polishing one

then finish of with some old autosol polish I have but I suppose braso would do.

I know what you mean.

Top this one....

Went to bed with my brightest lumed watch.

This morning it was placed neatly on my bedside table propped up towards me. NO RECOLLECTION of taking it off [emoji53] let alone positioning it.

How about going to bed with a cheap Seiko and waking up with a nice expensive Rolex instead! Must have dreamed that I guess. :D

If my trusty Seiko went missing I'd be upset whatever had replaced it.

I've polished a acrylic crystal with white toothpaste mixed with bicarb and a bit of Brasso to make a paste.  Run that over the crystal with a Dremel for a few seconds (no longer as the crystal will melt).  Then polish it by hand using a paste of bicarb only.  The plastic comes up beautifully.

    • Update: I posted over on NAWCC and it looks like I melted the fine coil wires where they come into the solder lugs. After dropping the heat way down on my iron and being absurdly careful, I have a humming fork!
    • Hell0 @nevenbekriev. Thank you for your advice. I have removed the old setting using my staking set--I will keep the KIF spring, since it is still good.  I am awaiting the replacement setting, and will update when I do that. In the mean time, I looked at the escape wheel and it looks ok. What do you think?    
    • Aloha All, I recently bought this Seitz tool on eBay, but it is missing some pushers reamers.  I ended up ordering new parts for those that were missing before I received the actual Seitz tool (bad idea).   Upon inspecting the pushers/bits, I noticed 23 of the 56 provided with the set had no numbers. Further inspection revealed a huge difference in the quality of those unnumbered.  Do all Seitz pushers/bits have a number on them?  I'm pretty sure that 33 of the 56 I received are cheap Chinese knockoffs.  The worst part is that I ordered $80 of parts to replace the missing pushers/bits, and now I'm looking to return the tool. I'm not crazy, right? If these are Seitz parts, they should all be numbered, correct? The first two pictures are the Seitz (numbered), and the other pictures are the suspect parts.  Will I even be able to get a refund?  Thanks, Frank     
    • It was £10 + min fee, total £16, could not leave it there. Its a Stanton A.D.2. http://stanton-instruments.co.uk/
    • Chief- The picture below shows the three parts from the dial side that are most useful to "fingerprint" a movement in conjunction with the diameter of the movement.  That's why forum participants are always asking for dial side photos in posts asking for identification.  As far as the setting lever screw, it actually sits loose in the main plate. The threads engage the setting lever below, and the elongated stem above the shoulder sticks through a hole in one of the bridge plates so that it's held captive if unscrewed all the way.  So you may be fine as far as that goes.
