Foggy Glass - 12 volt fan

knurling = taking the sharp edges off of glass by means of sanding... i guess it's called knurled because glass is not the easiest thing to sand smooth. i used a dremel... and wouldn't suggest it for most folks because you can damage/break the glass or send shards flying extremely easily with a slight variance in pressure... the jumping of high speed tools tends to make several quick impacts and vibrations if they're not held in place just right. a flat rasp would be best for most folks. tedious, but safe(er)...

a little tip... nail polish remover is just pink acetone... that's why we have it around... buying small bottles of nail polish remover all the time doesn't make sense to me when i know what's in the bottle and how much cheaper it is somewhere besides the beauty section of your local store.

i told the wife. she was skeptical and bought another bottle of nail polish remover. i bought a can of acetone, brought it home and asked if she recognized the smell without letting her see the label. she said "where'd you get a bottle of nail polish remover that big?". i showed her the label and said... "at any hardware store" with a big, cheesy, gloating smile.

that bottle of nail polish remover dried up in the cabinet and there hasn't been one in my house since. and when i need it, i don't have to worry about everything turning pink or sleeping in the doghouse after using the last of her nail polish remover.

my sense of humor led to thoughts of you using the nail polish on your fingernails... What would you suggest for cleaning the edges of Lexan...or should I start another thread??? There are a few problems with my prototype and need to get a few suggestions...

only if it's pink or fuscia.

yes, another thread would best suit that question.
