What is best way to polish out scratches on plastic cover?
16 August 2023 at 07:56 #47248Anyone know where I can get the peanut lamp (5V 60mA) used in the < > photocell control module in the keyboard. Its B&O part number is 8230069.
Thanks

The lamp inside the keyboard is also found in the webshop.Polishing acryllic can be an hours-long process, depending on the itinial condition and what tools etc. you have.
Novus #2 is usually a good starting point.Patience could also be the solution. You never know when new dustcovers become available…

While I had all the sanding utensils out and ready, I started on the ugly acrylic cover, I placed it on a sturdy cardboard box that nearly fit into the cover Bad idea as I sanded with 30 micron the cardboard damaged the inside of the cover, I had to cover the box with a cotton rag, and later sand the inside with 15 micron and so on), I then wet sanded with a 30 micron sheet, parallel to the long side until the deep scratches was gone, the most difficult was the damage you can see in the first pics. I then went to 15 micron sanding parallel to the short side until all the grains from the 30 micron was gone, then down to 9 micron, long side, until all then grain from 15 micron was gone, then down to 3 micron, short side, I now had like a haze on the acrylic, not quite clear, I then took to Novus No. 2 scratch remover, and that did it. With 25°C in the garage this was a boot camp, 2 hours hard work, sweating like after a 5 Km run. I have some more covers where I tried with Novus No. 3 and 2 and 1, It didnt turn out as well as this one.
