[byron 1,279]

Well none of my little circle of friends seems to know so thought id ask if anyone here knows.

Is there any way to remove very light scratches on glass ?....Its the front glass of an aquarium....any ideas ? even old wives tales i,ll give a go

brasso mate..

thats what the old watch repairers use to use..

if not, try a acrylic[spelling] polish,,i use it on the camper van windows[acrylic]..

Well i just tried the t-cut on a shitty little tank in the garage and it hasnt touched it just made a dull haze which will probably come off but still got the scratch so not trying that on the other tank....

Its an expensive real fancy tank so think im gonna get someone in who knows what their doing.....replacing the pane is out as theres all other bits connected to it at the top where the hood is.

That Rouge gear looks good but think ive lost my bottle now id rather someone else take the responsibility at least that way theres a claim to be made if it go,s wonky ....thanks for the suggestions anyway,not sure who to contact or the proper name for a glass expert

Gnasher,jewellers rouge only works on normal plate glass ie glass thats not been put in a kiln and cooled quikley

to make it toughened and I suspect if it's bow fronted then it will in fact be toughened.

One way to check is for a saftey mark but I dont think you'll get that scratch out mate

I see,thanks for the info......to be honest theres more than one scratch....a friend was coming in to feed the fish while i was on holiday recently and used one of these shitty glass cleaners a bit like a scouring pad you get in pet shops ....didnt realise at the time but its left quite a few tiny scratches......Ive been in touch with Schott Zweisel who make wine glasses/decanters etc im waiting for a call back....but im starting to think its something im going to have to put up with unfortunately

Ok, maybe the T cut didn't work but I have another old wifes rememdy if your willing to give it a try..... it sounds a bit iffy but the best ones are............ it's a mixture of brown sauce,glass cleaner and wait for it...... urine. You must use something really soft to put it on, a wolly West Ham scarf will do fine.... try it on an old piece of glass first mate but I hear it works

While i value this tank and its inhabitants as being very nice,damn expensive,and beautiful in its own way.......it certainly dont hold as much value as my many Hammers scarves ....Send me down your Rangers or Celtic is it ? scarf,that way i can carry out your experiment with pleasure....i,ll certainly enjoy aiming my urine on it

 

Well im game for almost anything at the moment so i,ll give it a go.....if it works theres certainly a round of drinks in it for you mate
