I am making a 2' square light up sign out of 1/2" plexiglass.
The design is a Clemson 'paw' cut with a 6mm bit.
The pocket floors are sloped so I can put LED's around the plexiglass edges which will allow light to hit all parts of the pockets.
The cutting is done and the pockets look good except the floors... because the pockets are sloped, the bit left scars in places where it stepped over and also where it made sharp turns.
Lighting it now would work, but I want to get rid of the floor scars so it doesnt look so rough.
I already tried a 0.1mm cleaning pass, just not gonna get a uniform finish on a slope without a fine ball-mill... maybe.
I tried painting it with a flat white latex paint, but it didnt have the effect of glowing like I had hoped... just not translucent enough.
So I removed that and am looking for some help.
What can I put in the pockets so that it glows/lights up with led's?
I am thinking something like a table epoxy with a filler or anything similar to frosted glass that really catches the light.
