Title: novus in ottawa
Post by: jon1985 on November 29, 2010, 08:06:19 AM
Hey guys,

I am trying to polish my tank before I set it back up.  Any ideas where I can find some novus #2 in ottawa?

Thanks

Jon

when i worked at a pool store 10 years ago they had this stuff to polish scratches out of the acrylic hot ubs. give a pool store a call and see if teh have it in stock. i used to work at purewater bellscorners if that helps you

its a tank I bought new 6 months ago, set it up and proceded to put some cratches in it.  I have the  tank torn down because I am moving so now is the ideal time to polish out the scratches.
