    Default polishing pads

    Has anyone resurfaced glass? I was wondering wether you can use a wet polisher and stone polishing pads to polish glass. I have been shopping around and i know there are particualar types for glass. Does anyone know if its worth trying on an offcut or would i need the actual glass pads? cheers

    I think they will do the job no probs.. but as always test first.. but i can get a very high polish on stone with mine so it is worth a go first.. good luck and please do let us know how it turns out.. so then if we come across this scenario then we know it will work as well..
