What you can actually measure accurately, is your water temp. Any alcohol thermometer would do.

As I understand it this bullet resistent polycarb contains no real glass at all. It is a five material construction however. The stuff has some sort of hardened surface layer that is thin and highly resistant to scratching, second layer is polycarb, then a section/layer of acrylic, then a second layer of polycarb and last a second surface hardened layer. And there are some sort of fine flexable fibers that are opticly clear running through and joining the 3 inner layers, some sort of advanced form of fiber glass the installer says, but he's not sure himself what those fibers are. Strange sort of plexi and I'm told extremly expensive as well.
I have no idea how well this stuff will polish, any ideas on that Ben? The fact is has so many differant material types blended up in it may make this a tough part of working it. Still love the idea of haveing a bulletproof waterblock though.
According to the guy who installs it, it can be cut with my radial arm saw, although he warned me not to rush the saw, but instead let it cut slowly, unless I like change fusses or resetting breakers.

Strange indeed!
Yeah, the fiberglass is what I'm talking about
: it's what gives the polycarbonate its "bulletproof" quality.
As long as the fibers don't reach the surface, you shouldn't have any issues polishing it at all.
I can imagine that it would be hard to cut! I'd follow his advice to the letter, if I was you! You probably want to use a fine tooth sawblade, to limit how rough your cut is going to turn out.
