Any particular grade of rouge? I've got a couple of lenses
with minor scratches that would probably benefit from
gentle polishing. But the jeweller's catalogue I've just looked
in (H.S. Walsh) lists about a dozen polishing compounds,
none specifically for glass. Or doesn't it matter too much?
Jeweller's rouge is amongst them (and is not too expensive).
I don't really know, what I have is in an unmarked tin that
was given to me as being 'the stuff I needed' to polish out
some scratches on an oscilloscope CRT face. I've used
it since to polish out scratches on other glass items. It's
probably best to ask a friendly jeweller for advice before
you buy.
Try checking on the web for telescope construction for grinding
and polishing glass.
