Plexiglass Question

[Raven]

a heat gun...

but by keeping the gun at a reasonable distance you
the operator are the thermostat.

you can generally buff them out with a high speed buffer and some polish and compound .

Thanks for all the answers guys!

I will take the windshield off the boat and try the aquarium method first on a small spot and see if it works and if that fails I'll try the buffer on it.

I know I probably won't have the same result as new glass because it got washed on both sides of the plexi with steel wool (SOS) so the outcome is probably going to be a negative but I'll try anything first and then as a last resort I'll just have to have another one made.

You guys are great and thanks again for all the help and for you're time.

You's all deserve keepers on your next trip out!

After you fix it, get the SOS off the boat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
