Corian???

Thanks all. I see what I am doing wrong is not sanding to a high enough grit. Also I have been dry sanding.

My local box stores only carry up to 600 grit.

I am planning on taking a ride to Woodcraft tomorrow to get some little box hinges and brass box feet, so I will see if they have some high grit I can throw in the cart.

Thanks again for all the suggestions, I can't wait to try them out!!

Did you check auto stores?? surly they will have 1000-1200 grit papers there for auto paint finishing.

Not a bad idea...if I crap out at Woodcraft I will try there. I prefer to give my business to local woodworking shops whenever I can. Anything to help keep them around, plus I never leave Woodcraft without at least a few things not on my list

Good suggestion - I know our local Auto Zone has those grits. Seems like I recall they went as fine as an 1800 grit - I think an old T-shirt would be more abrasive than that though!

I was surfing and found this on polishing/finishing of acrylics and remembered this post. Not even sure how good a deal this is.

Thanks FWHarris!

I was able to find wet/dry sandpaper sheets in 400,600,800 and 1200 grit at Woodcraft and picked up a small orbital buffer for finishing it up with a touch of car wax.

If this doesn't work out I will definitely pick up one of those kits.

Thanks,

Craig,

I bet what you picked up should do the job. That kit looks a little pricey and the tips the other guys posted should do the job..

Awesome, I have a couple cans of Plexus for my sportbike, I will use that.

I'm afraid I am only going to wet sand up to 1200 though as thats what I could find. I hope thats enough.

i will try it out in the next few days and se how it looks.

Thanks,

after reading my last post I need stop sending reply's after medication time.lol

Anyway if you have a way to secure the part take a buffer hand held and use some fine 3M compound and buff the snot out of it will do better than the micro sanding just dont melt it
