Ah, interesting. I don't think it would work for the stuff I'm using
here. I'm considering a change of materials, though, so it's good to
know that this exists: it makes plastics more attractive.
This seems to be a chemical version of the old torch-polishing
technique. You melt the surface and then let it settle; I'm
considering doing much the same thing with a fresh pour of really
fluid epoxy.
