    Default finishing acrylic scales?

    I picked up my first acrylic scales from "the scale shop". It comes already cut out, but not really shaped. I have been using wipe on to finish wood. Do you need to finish acyrlic or is it just sanding and buffing? Not really sure.

    sanding, then Novus 1 and 2, if you have a buffer you can buff @ low RPM with white rogue may be even CrO bar.

    Thanks for the post, in my state of overwhelming density, I didn't know that shop existed. I have a couple blades that want some classy scales, now I know where they're coming from.
    Don't get hung up on hanging hairs.

    one thing you need to consider is that you'll still have to adjust the scale wedges for the particular blade.

    And micro-mesh 6000 to 12000 also puts a nice high mirror shine on the acrylics.

    And the AD never ends.
