Quoted from hollywood:

Has anyone tried?? I would love to know...mine has that bubble...I don't want to have to buy a new ramp.Please let me know!!!! If you could post before and after pics, It would be appreciated!

If you are referring to bubbles in the plastic, flame polishing will not take them out. In fact, flame polishing may make them worse. Adding excessive heat to plastic does exactly that...causes bubbles. My process for flame polishing is here:

Quoted from BLACK_ROSE:

I haven't used a small Torch so I can't say how it will work . The BernzOmatic TS4000 that i use throws the Heat out Fast and Evenly ( works like a Charm ) . Not All Ramp's are Flameable , keep that in mind ( especially Stern Ramp's )

I've flame polished POTC and IM ramps without an issue. Why do you say Stern ramps can't be polished?
