The article says to use either acrylic or polycarbonate, and to "flame
finish" it.


Don't bother - just sand it with ever finer grits until you get a finish you like.
If you want it really clear, use a polishing compound. You can use the stuff
that is sold for finishing gelcoat on boats or repairs on cars. For really fine
finish, you can use the finest polishing compounds for glass or metal. A
Dremel with a small buffing wheel can speed things up.
