Has anyone tried to use this to repair a scratch in a mirror - a scratch that can be felt with a fingernail (successfully or unsuccessfully)?

No, I've been trying to get scratches out of my windshield though, and I can't finish my effort because the scratch remover came without the 1600 grit sandpaper that is supposed to be included. Since then, they've canceled my order.

Usually when there is a crack these repair kits work like a vacuum sucking the resin into the crack.. If it's not a deep scratch, you could use the pin provided to etch away a little at it so the resin has somethin to grab on to or you could forget the vacume tube all together if its a shallow scratch and just try to spread it on and use the provided film to try to fill the scratch. All the kits I've tried generally work the same. My repair has been through a month of winter and negative degree weather and the chip/crack hasn't gotten any worse. If you have any chip or scratch I'd recommend using any glass repair product. Good luck!

I have heard that this product will repair some scratches to eyeglasses if they are not too deep. I have scratches in my own glasses but have never worked up the nerve to try it considering what I paid for the glasses. Sorry I couldn't be for more help.

Joyce it would be worth a try. I have used it for all sorts of things. It does not scratch. Kathleen

I had several scratches that you could not feel and I was not satisfied with results maybe because you can feel the scratches it might work but I doubt it.

I can't actually address your question directly, but having used this device to polish boats, I suspect that it may not have enough torque/power to accomplish the task if the scratches are significant, it might work if they aren't deep.

I would give it a try. The colors did not match my wood exactly at first look but when I used it, it really hid the scratches. it does not fill in the scratches but draws your eye away from them.

I'm not sure if it was here on amazon or not, but another user bought a second kit and mixed it up in very small batches (babyfood jars) to fix nicks and scratches over the years. I plan on ordering another kit just for such things. I would suggest wet sanding the spot with 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper lightly before applying.

Yes, but don't expect invisibility. If the scratch is wide the material will fill but still be visible. No reflections, but still there. cheaper than a windshield or a deductable

Whilst I have not tried it I cannot see any reason why not. After all hand rubbing is similar to orbital buffing. Only difference is reduced effort with an orbital buffer. Should get an excellent result!

I don't think there is a way to get rid of scratches unless you buff it out with a wax buffer. I got some of the sticky stuff off with nailpolish remover. I think Windex will take care of the rest of the cleaning.

Shouldn't be a problem. It does not remove scratches though. Use polishing compound or super-fine grit paper for that.

yes You will need to do it several times, also let the polish application completely dry befor you buff it off. I used this on a lucite coffee table with fine scratches I had very good results. If your scratches are deep there is also a product for deep scratches.

I haven't had that problem, but similar products have a nut under the base that you can access by removing the felt. However, I suggest you contact the manufacturer - it might be that your mirror is defective.

I have not tried it for such, but it should work so long as the scratch is not deep enough for you to catch your fingernail in it.

I don't think so. The surfaces are completely different. Maybe if you apply it minimally in the scratch and when it drys completely, test it out. Otherwise this is a good article http://www.ehow.com/how_7832078_fix-scratches-dry-erase-board.htmlGood luck.

Works really good as a filler for scratches. Also, it had been awhile and I made the mistake of shaving the edge of of a countertop that I had just ironed on without putting tape down to protect the top from the roller on the bit. Marred the top edge pretty bad. I was able to apply a skim coat with two different colors on the calico top with a razor blade for a pretty good repair. I'm the only person who notices it. I also skimed a coat on a blemish on a bathroom vanity top and with some wet sandpaper made a beautiful flawless repair. Only thing was that I was never able to match the color exactly but still the vanity is much better than it was. Just looks like it has a manufacturing flaw. I've used the stuff four times now I think. Saved my life! If you were good I suppose you could skim a coat over a burn? Perhaps you could take it down just a wee bit with your thumb and a piece of sandpaper and then do the skim. Good luck.
