Polishing grinder debris out of a windscreen?
Discussion
I actually hate myself at the moment, I'm sooooooo stupid. I've just fitted a brand new windscreen to me TR6, having (I thought) got all the messy tasks which might injure it out of the way. At the last minute I decided to fit an additional (original style) switch to the dash for front and rear foglights. This involved widening a switch slot to accept repro switches. Masked up the cockpit trim, whipped out the Dremel – job done. Or so I thought. A narrow jet of sparks had whizzed up past my masking and bksed a three inch by two inch patch of windscreen in the 2 o'clock of my line of vision. FFS. etc.
It's not that bad, but bad enough to irritate and of course will be a nightmare at nigh and in sunshine. However, looking around it seems I might be able to polish the damage out.
So, does anyone here know:
a. Is it possible to polish out this kind of damage?
b. If so, is this the sort of thing I can do myself?
c. And, if so, what and where can I buy the gear to do it?
d. Or is it better to cut my losses and stump up for another new windscreen? (which I really don't want to do – project way over budget already)
