Problem:
Attempt to remove a scratch in Plexiglas has created a visual ripple distortion at the repair site.
Cause:
I believe my scratch removal attempt was too localized (just could not get that scratch out). I think the excessive and localized material removal has caused the distortion. Scratch length 2”-- hand wet sanded and sanded and sanded using 600-grit abrasive then 1000 grit slurry, 2000, and 3000. The repair area did polish nicely and no haze/fog can be seen. Just that blasted ripple where the scratch was located.
Fix (?):
Hopefully, there is someone out there that has “been there and done that” with regards to being too aggressive in removing a scratch. I would like to know if anyone has experienced a similar problem and how to fix it? My first thought, the repair area is too local and needs to be “feathered” it into the surrounding area. The unknown is, will this work or only succeed in making the distortion larger?
Thanks,
Tim
