Huge scratch on 55gal... !$%^!

[Exile]

I just put about a 6" vertical scratch on the upper right portion of the front of my 55gal.
The front of this tank is...was... flawless. I can't believe I just did this! I was going to use my Mag-Float to clean some build up off the glass and I guess there was a piece of sand on the outside magnet. Its so obvious and terrible looking! The back of the tank isn't an option as it is in worse condition with 4 severe internal nicks, not to mention I JUST spray painted it black two weeks ago...

I hope there is some scratch filler I can find that will tolerate an occasional drip or two, if not.....


Lesson Learned: Check for tiny bits of sand!

thats okay just remove the paint and paint the scratched side and use the flawless side if it bothers you that much.

The 1st scratch always hurts the worse, Never fear-you won't even notice it in 6 months.

I know how you feel, but I always check and double check my mag cleaners before I use them.........

isn't it glass? how would it buff out? I have scratches I would like to get out of my glass tank, but did not think it was possible
