Feel like crying. There was a minor scratch on my table so I tried toothpaste and it just made it worse, now there’s a shiny spot. My brain can’t handle this.

What's it made out of?

What's it made out of?

It's one of those heavy duty plastic outdoor tables with the fold out legs. I use one as a computer desk since decent computer desks are expensive. Still the table was like 80 bucks but it's better than spending hundreds.

Bon Ami MIGHT be finer than toothpaste to buff it back another step. Car polish after that but def do tests first!!! Thats what I'd try.
Good luck!

Wet 6-800 grit the whole top to even it out maybe.

i vote for dragging it outside, setting it on fire and buying a new table.

Sounds good to me! (Too bad I can't afford to...)

hmmm... could you sell it, buy a new one and set something else on fire?

ok, boss walked back in the door at 3 o'clock with his hair on fire. only instead of you know, actually finishing what we started this morning, we're starting new projects. so... yeah... guess this will just rollover to tomorrow. as if Fridays weren't hectic enough.

Show me a pic of the surface. There are ways to buff plastic. Just depends on the plastic.

PITA 3 winding coils done. didn't have to wind them just finish them thank god.
now i have to finish 12 "knuckle busters" (as i call them cause they're hell on the knuckles)
and 2 more no big deal coils.
and now iv been tasked with cutting out like 5 3/8 round 3/16 tall "pins". which was given to me in metric
and I'm thinking I'm probably going to have to finish the 2 big ones the boss just wound. so i sense soldering 12 gauge wire with a torch later.
is it 4pm yet?

Looks like this. Maybe I should just get a table cloth.

Sounds good to me! Now that I’m looking at it in better lighting I think it’s just how the plastic was molded from the factory. I m not sure why I never noticed until now, like I mentioned I’m not normal lol.
