    I use a belt sander to shape my acrylic scales which basically melts & chips away the melted material. I fasten both sides together so they will be the same size and shape. Start with 40 grit to cut to the outline of the scales, 120 grit to smooth and round edges. Hand sand with 220, 400, 1000 & 2000 to get rid of scratches from sanding. You can then finish with buffer and/or polish to make them shine. It's quick, takes maybe an hour start to finish, fairly easy and get surprising results.
