Can a Tusq CL nut be polished

[RockinProf]

Does anyone out there know if a Tusq XL nut can be polished to a gloss finish? I need a new nut and have the appropriate nut on order but I’d like to know if gloss is possible or not.

Thanks!

I never tried, so I can't say.

Don't see any reason why it couldn't be. I'd try a polish made specifically for plastics.

I'd be inclined to try some armor all on one if looking for a shine. I bet that would work pretty well.

No expert here but I'd be surprised to hear that plastic can be polished from a matte to a shine. AFAIK it's manufactured glossy. But hey, anything's possible I suppose. Let us know!

if nothing else you can spray a thick layer of clear over it and polish that

Tusq isn’t plastic. It’s a ceramic material.
You can polish it just like bone.

And it’s very easy to polish plastic to a high gloss. Nitro cellulose is plastic.

These were that matte finish like you see on EMGs. I polished them the same way you would a lacquer finish (wet sanding and a buffing wheel). They look glossier in person.
