Bagsy Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 I want to remove a small scratch from a glass surface. There's plenty of info on google but I'm finding it difficult to find any evidence of success. The way forward seems to be the a polishing bit, a Dremel, some cerium oxide and lots of elbow grease. Have any of you fine fellows had any success with this or other methods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have any of you fine fellows had any success with this or other methods? I've done it on a glass shower screen using a cutting paste, dremel, loads of water and even more elbow grease. It does work but it's HARD going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagsy Posted May 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 cheers chaps - poontang, do you recall what cutting paste you used? guss - I think the cerium oxide is the stuff jewellers use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poontang Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 indeed i think it was 'jewellers rouge' we used It comes as a white powder and is mixed into a paste, then put on the scratch and 'dremelled' to within an inch of it's life!! Be careful to keep the area cool and don't concentrate on one area for to long, move the dremel up and down the scratch or you could end up with a depression in the glass. Not that i did that of course... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8landy Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 I had to pollsih out some etching that happened to our glass oven door due to Mr Muscle oven cleaner. I used bicarbonate of soda with water to make a fine paste, and a combination of finger action and a dremmel type divice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agusta Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Depending on how bad the scratch is you can use toothpaste (quite effective on small scratches scuffs!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
