Fixing scratces on acylic tank!!!! - Aquarium Advice

xcuter · 06-25-2004, 11:28 PM

If anyone has actually done this before can you tell me what product u used and how much effort does it take? I want to repair my tank right now since it has no water in it right now.

I know that they make a product that is for acrylic scratches. Um i am not sure what it is called or where to get it. They even have stuff to reapir the scratches with water still in the tank. I know someone on here used car wax to fix scratches on the outside of the tank. Probably not to good for the inside though. Just serach the internet for acrylic repair products.

Not sure if it will help but I found a web page at a car care site about polishing plastic headlights. Worth a look anyway.
