emilstorm Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 You may already know this, but I just had a new great experience. I just tried Brasso on an old canopy from way back in the 80s and it actually worked pretty good. After about 30 seconds of rubbing all of the tiny scratches were gone and left the piece transparent again. It does not take care of the "deep" scratches, but the pieces look almost like new again. Unfortunately I did not take any photos but did a before and after comparison by looking through the piece at the fence in my backyard, and it went from total blur to " whoa , nice fence". I personally like this better than dipping my stuff in polish since it actually removes the scratches rather then fill them up. Quote
DuckBricks Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Thanks for the advice, got tons of scratched up trans-yellow canopies that I would love to use for Blacktron MOCs... Quote

emilstorm Posted January 11, 2015 Author Posted January 11, 2015 It actually just grinds off a tiny layer of the surface. The liquid in Brasso is only there to help apply it evenly and "keep it together". It works just as well if you let it dry up and then start rubbing, that will take care of some of the smell too :) Quote

emilstorm Posted January 11, 2015 Author Posted January 11, 2015 Brasso is completely safe and has been used by many for years to remove prints from bricks. You can also dip your pieces in various kinds of polish, there are a couple of threads with good pictures on the forum somewhere. Quote
