Finish on PVC pipe/conduit
I'm machining some small enclosures using PVC electrical conduit (off white
color). The electrical condut just happens to have the needed ID/OD. I'm using acetone to remove the manufacturers ink labelling which is marked down the pipe, but the finish still looks like water pipe/conduit. I'm making them in batches of 20 or so. Painting or dying is not really an option, I could spin them in the lathe and take a light cut along the length but I'd like to avoid this if I can. I thought about wiping over with solvent to soften and smooth the top surface but this may leave "wipe" marks on the surface. I tried to source clean PVC pipe without marking etc but I could not find anything. Does anyone have any other ideas on a quick simple way to finish the external surface nicely? TIA |
