Hey Lettervillians....

Is it possible to remove or conceal scratches on polished brass laminate with an aluminum backing? I'm thinking that polishing it down might wear through to the aluminum backer?!?! Maybe recover it with foil-style vinyl? Clearcoating???? Any off the wall ideas.

Happy Signing.... Marty

Marty, You might use pumice on it to get the scratch off then use a clear with a fine sable brush to touch up, or bees wax if you don't have to apply vinyl to it.

If it is a typical aluminum with colored face, it won't come out without wearing down into the aluminum.

What we do is laminate another layer on top and route it out. Of course it may be just as easy to recut the letter.

Hope that helps ya.!
