This was the first time using Micro-Mesh, a type of polishing for acrylic. It involves wet sanding the rounded edges from 1800-8000 grit. Much better than flame polishing and it doesnt weaken the joints like flame polishing does. Came out awesome, I recommend this stuff 110%. All the tanks that I make from now will be micro-mesh polished.





Thanks for looking. Please let me know what you think.

Question... Is the cabinet going to closed or open when you are finished?
