    Having had some experience polishing some glass I will say that most of the 'scratches' that people want to remove can't be. Especially if it's deep enough to catch your fingernail on. You're not going to 'polish' away that much glass. In most cases what you're able to do is 'obscure' the scratch by smoothing out or polishing the rough peaks in the 'channel' or valley of the scratch so it won't refract the light. I use jewelers rouge sometimes and it also depends how hard or soft the glass is. Unless you use a machine polisher, with these light abrasives by hand you'll be working on it a while, which is safe but tedious.

    • @TheLabOtomy
      @TheLabOtomy  Год назад +1

      Indeed, glass is really hard and you polish it with something really gentle. Success will depend on depth of the scratch and dedication. Thanks for the feedback.

      you can see scratches because elbow grease is nothing, you need machine to do that (heat + fritcion + cerium oxide + felt pad) is thing that works, glass is very hard...so from big to small: 180mm rotary machine pad, 80mm pad for drill, and tons of dremel pads 20-35mm or even less, so you can pretty much polish any glass area

      Hi Amanda, the first thing to check is how deep the scratch is. If it catches a nail, then polishing it back to a smooth surface will take a lot of time (remember we are rubbing something really gentle - not to create additional scratches - against something really hard). At the end of the video, I have listed other products that professional repair guys use to fix deeper scratches. Hope it works out for you.

      If the scratch catches on your nail, this is bad news. Depending on the depth, this can easily be 30 minutes of polishing using professional cerium oxide based product and a powertool buffer... also too much polisihing will carve the glass and make it thinner (more prone to break...)

I just went in and tried the first solution, a bit of toothpaste on a microfiber towel, rubbed for about 20 seconds, and it was gone. I can't see it at all anymore. I am THRILLED. Thank you so much! Just for anyone's information, I used my nanohydroxyapatite toothpaste, originally developed by NASA, as I understand, and the first thing it does in your mouth is heal cracks. I know it's worked in my mouth to heal tiny fractures in my teeth, so I'm not surprised it worked on my mirror.

    Hey I'm trying to clean old fish tank glass from a broken tank. It's been sitting a while. I took tooth paste and actually added baking soda and went with a actual buffer pad since I'm cleaning a few feet worth of semi deep scratches. I see you are able to get some similar depth scratches out with just a cloth. Are scratches easier to get out of certain types of glass? Like tempered VS non tempered? Low iron, or regular, etc? I'm having a heck of a time hah. Needed a break 45m with the buffer didn't make a dent... I'll try the steel wool method haven't tried that yet. Thanks for the tips and possibly direction on what I may be doing wrong or a more aggressive method if my scratches are deeper than I think. Not sure what constitutes a "deep" scratch.

    • @TheLabOtomy
      @TheLabOtomy  3 года назад +6

      A deep scratch is one that catches the nail. The thing with glass is that all scratches can be removed, BUT the deeper scratch, the longer it takes (and yes sometimes, that will be hours... or minutes long with a rotating tools with pro-compound but the risk of cupping the material and weakening a spot). The glass is extremely hard and we have to rub it with something really really gentle... like sanding a wooden board with 4000 grit sandpaper... good luck!

      Yes, the deeper the scratches the more difficult to remove (well the more time it takes to polish in fact). It sounds superficial, so give it a try. Just be careful to often check for progress as your work and not overdo it (or just like the sponge, you may create more scratches). Good luck!

      In the woodworking world, moving to a higher grit is all about removing the traces from the previous lower grit sanding exercise. I would therefore definitely try the #0000: do not over do it, check often for progress. Good luck!

    I rubbed with toothpaste 5 times and baking soda 2 times, it went away, i cannot notice it anymore, unless i take it out and put flashlight on it from a certain angle and even then its hard to spot.

    The kind of scratch I have to fix is more of an abrasion. It was caused by my brother sliding a heavy glass pane over the other glass pane. Thanks for sharing. I'll give the first two a shot and be as gentle as possible. Metal polish sounds scary to me as a first timer because that stuff is pretty strong.

    • @TheLabOtomy
      @TheLabOtomy  3 года назад +13

      Remember that you are using something that only gently scrubs against something that is really hard (yes glass is hard!). If the scratch is too deep (i.e. catches the nail, the repair work may take hours of polishing... so going to mechanical + pro products may be the recommended way). If starches are not too deep, start small, , do not overdo it, be patient, regularily check for progress... and repeat. Good luck!
