How acrylic polishing works
There are two types of acrylic polishing machinery you can employ;
Diamond polishing
This type of acrylic polishing uses a set of fine diamond coated buffing wheels which apply a sharp, clean finish to straight cuts. The machinery is pretty expensive and limits you to straight line polishing.
Flame polishing
This type of acrylic polishing use a fine, high temperature hydrogen based flame which slightly melts the cut edges of your acrylic. Once flame polishing has been carried out your cut edges magically change from an opaque to a clear finish. This type of acrylic polishing works on all shapes and sizes of cut acrylic.
