If the damage wasn't very deep, I'd not be too worried about it. The
thickest part of a glass tube is the face, which could be anywhere from
1/4" to 1" thick. Of course, it would be a good idea to wear gloves and a
face shield (or at the very least, safety goggles) when doing that kind of
work. I've buffed out tiny scratches in the past with (of all things)
toothpaste, but for the more visible but still minor scratches, I need to
find something else.
