I need to polish the ends of a few (well 4 bits) of short perspex rod,

Any ideas how best to polish the ends?



If you have a spare to practice on, I'd sand the end best you can then
wave it in a blowtorch flame.

No need for blowtorch. Standard polishing - finer up to 1200 grit
wet-and dry, followed by T-cut or similar.
