Removing scratches on glass?

[Rémi]

Hey,

I'm building a new setup with a tank I purchased at the auction and the glass is quite scratched. I have read online about cerium oxide and a buffing pad but I don't want to get into anything complicated. Does anyone know a simple, cheap method to removing minor scratches on aquarium glass?

Thanks!

I'd like to know too!

If you can catch the scratch with a fingernail, it is too deep to be buffed without comprising the strength of the tank.

Anyone know how to remove scratches from a glass table?

Hey Feivel,

That would be appreciated!

You can't feel the scratches with a fingernail so they aren't that deep. I'm hoping I can buff them out with some household products. I just don't know what to try..

Try clear nail polish,  it really works.  Doesn't totally remove it but does a good job of reducing the visibilty of the scratches.  You must apply several coats.  My method has been to apply one coat and let dry.  Using a paint or window scrapper remove excess and then re-apply, do this until the scratch is completely filled add water and you will see the difference.  I have never had any adverse effects to my fish either.

Thank you!   

And simply using nail polish remover if you don't like the results would work, I'd imagine?
