Comment on How to Remove Burn Mark from (acrylic ?) Sink

Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

The burn would be IN the platic not on it. Best solution would be to replace it. If you really can’t do that, you can consider some combination of bleaching it to lighten the colour, or gently polishing it away (like a dremel and rouge) then clear coating.

Go find a discount building material store… most larger metropolitan areas I’ve been in have them. You can find a replacement sink for pennies on the dollar because contractors screwed up the order, or the owner changed their mind.

  Adding, habitat Re-store is a common option in the US.

What’s a rouge?

  Very fine polishing compound. Often called jeweller’s rouge because they ise it to polish fine jewelry. Find it at home depot, some craft stores, comes with a dremel kit etc…

    Could power tools be too powerful as oppose to using very fine sand paper.

    Could? Maybe. It’s more about the abrasiveness of the paper/compound and how agressive you are with working it. Rouge is as gentle as it gets. You can use it manually, but be prepared to work it for a long while.
