If you're using an acrylic wedge, do you polish it before fitting, or after?
I'm currently working on a pair of maple scales with a black acrylic wedge (thanks Chris). I've shaped it by hand sanding to match the scales' profile and have got to 800 grit wet and dry sandpaper. It's still a bit dull and I'd like to get the mirror shine effect I've seen in some restores here.
The scales have already had a couple of coats of clear, polyurethane varnish.
