It wouldn't hurt to try, but depending on the type of plastic the cutting board is made of, it may not help smooth the surface.

yes you can do that however, it will not achieve the smooth surface that it had from the time of purchase. This is because of the moulding process. It should be noted though that if you do attempt to sand this down you will have the issue of the surface being more open to retaining germs. This is because the surface will in effect have micro scores in it which will make the surface course. These will act like small trenches filling with food microbes.

It might be wise to scrap off board and purchase a new one. This is because by the time youve purchased the abrasive materials in about 4 grit sizes you will have spent more than the board is worth. A good wooden chopping board is well worth the investment especially if its made of beach or steamed beach which is quite tough and these can be sanded with decressing abrasive sizes and sealed with a vegetable based oil to bring them back ot their orginal quality.

How do you repair acetone marks on plastic?

Depending on the color and type of plastic surface, you can wet sand the plastic with 1500-2000 grit sand paper. Sand real lightly, and sand enough to see the stains disappearing from the sanding area. Be sure to keep sand paper level with surface, do not used finger tips, will leave grooves. Now depending on the surface rather semi- or glossy, wipe with a degreaser, that does not contain acetone. Spray plastic surface with a clear coat finish, either semi or glossy. Works great on plastic headlights on vehicles.


How does gravity help create sand dunes?

The wind blows the sand to new locations and gravity is what helps the sand settle down to the ground. Gravity also keeps the sand down after the sand dune is created.
