About Finishing

Remove scratches, haziness, and abrasions from plastic surfaces.

Fine scratch removers repair minor abrasions and haziness on all plastic surfaces. After restoring the surface, seal it with a coat of plastic polish.

Deep scratch removers repair heavy scratches and abrasions. The fine scratch remover is required for final finishing. Note: Not for use on coated plastics, polycarbonate, or eyeglass lenses.

Smoothing and Polishing Solvents for 3D-Printed Plastics

Remove ridges from 3D-printed plastic pieces and give them a polished finish. Dip your piece in solvents for less than a minute, or use them in vapor smoothing systems. Unlike alternatives such as isopropyl alcohol and acetone, these solvents are non-flammable. Compared to grinding, sanding, and buffing, these solvents produce a smoother part with less time and effort.

Smoothing and Protective Coatings for 3D-Printed Plastics

Unlike other processes that remove surface ridges on 3D-printed parts, these coatings hide them for a smooth, glossy, heat- and impact-resistant finish. Mix this two-part coating and apply it to your parts—a small amount will cover a lot. The coating spreads uniformly without leaving stroke marks, making parts smooth enough to use as a mold, or they can be sanded, primed, or painted for further finishing work.

To add color to your parts without the extra step of painting, stir a few drops of UV-resistant pigments (sold separately) into your coating mixture. The pigments are UV-stable, which keeps the color from fading, warping, or cracking when exposed to sunlight.
