Believe it or not, they are just sanded to 2000 wet and polished out with a dremel and mothers metal polish

I guessed it to be a bit of a rubbing compound so I figured it couldn't hurt. Worked like a charm

Thanks!

Beautiful scales, well proportioned and befitting the blade. Job well done!

I have never worked with acrylic and just have bought 4 different colours to start. What problems have you had? I guess, mechanical polishing.
