I have heard that "vapor polishing" can be used to improve the optical clarity of machined plastic parts (mine are Lexan). Is anyone familiar with this process?

I'm curious about what exactly is involved, how tolerances are affected, and how much it costs.

Thanks,

Haf

equipment and operator's skill is very important.
Hope this help(But I think better place for this Q is in plastic molds/ fabricating engineering)
