This is a simple guide to flame polish sawn acrylic edges to get that finished look.

For this you will need..

A jet torch.
This are available everywhere,you want a blue jet to concentrate the heat

Get familiar with it first,find out how to turn it off in a hurry!





Sawn edge....not pretty.



You want the jet tip to be just floating above the sawn edge inline with the sheet.



Play along the edge you want to polish,dont linger in any one spot.



Done correctly the edge should fall to a uniform colour.



Surface scratches can also be 'rubbed out' with the same method.







As always,ventilation is a must!!

Practice on scrap before the workpiece and store the gas away from your work area.

    Nice guide! Will definitely come in handy when I do my custom plexi work for my current build.
