Thanks Mac,
That sounds like the way I used to sand lacquer on cars. Water sanding down
to 1000 or so seemed to make the surface better for the final coat. That wet
down that you do between grits would take care of the slurry that concerned
me. I'll have to try that.

Exactly, ken.. me too.. lol

Before I started turning pens this month, I thought I'd seen the last of any
grit higher than 800... some of these folks sand pens to 2,500.. sheesh!

I bought a pen sandpaper assortment online and am running out of 800 &
1,000grits.... they're the 2 LOWEST it came with..
