Scratches/Cuts on ABS Armor

[Wickedfluxx]

What's the best way to repair a scratch/cut on your ABS armor? I made a slip with my X-Acto blade while finishing up my belt and thought I would reach out before trying anything.

If it is just a fine scratch you can use a wee bit of wet and dry sandpaper to sand it out,then some cutting compound and a good polish. Some abs has a top layer and the colour shade can be different but SC seems to be fine, if it is a deep cut, I would glue another piece of abs behind the cut to stop it getting any worse. Things are never as bad as they seem, good luck crazy knife guy.

Yes i would say some very fine sandpaper to take the edges off the cut then maybe a little filler. Also i hear toothpaste is a good fine polishing abrasive

 

Hell, leave it like it is ! Scouts are meant to look a bit roughed up ! If people ask tell them an ewok got a little too close

I agree! My knee plates are all scuffed up from kneeling on pavement next to little kids for pics. I don't really care because people kind of expect a scout to have some wear and tear on their gear. I even accentuated those with some grime weathering.

If it isn't a deep scratch you can try the Novus 123 system
