I was thinking along the same line, but haven't tried my 'still in the box

grinder/buffer. Any one tried this?

Dont, the buffer melts the plastic.  I have tried it, and it melts the
plastic.  Same with acrylic.

    I had my large buffer wheel set to 300 rpm and it worked fine.
What speed were you using, may I ask?

Thanks for sharing these. Tell us about the sanding! Did you consider using
Brasso like everyone else seems to? Do you think you took much actual
material off, or just the printing?

   I've had success using "white rouge" buffing compound from your local
Sears or hardware store.  That and a small buffing wheel  on a bench grinder
leaves a smooth finish.  The Sears white compound is very fine.

    Contradictory as it may be, white rouge is the real name <g>.
