Default Polishing scratches out of glass

My Father In Law is a glass engraver, and is often asked if it is
possible to remove scratches, or change/erase the engraving on glass.
The usual answer is that while not 100% effective, you can significantly
diminish most scratches with a rubber wheel on the end of a dremmel type
tool.



You mean with rouge on it?


I will ask - I have a feeling that he just uses a (hard) rubber wheel on
its own. Having said that, most of the glass he is polishing is very
soft (i.e. 24% lead crystal).
