    Yeah. I tried that on my first prototype, but becuse of the optical effect it is very intolerant of any angular error.

    If I went for a frosted effect on the entire scale then rounding over the edges would be a good option, but with the clear scales, the contrast of any misalignment is plainly visible.

    The frosted look sort of glows a bit against a dark background:
