I had some pieces (4"x 4") that had been finished with lacquer and then waxed. In the end the color did not match the surrounding stuff and I need to darken them. I used mineral spirits to take off most of the wax. I then sanded the surfaces with 6oo grit paper until they were smooth and did not feel like there was any finish on them. Not true! When I put some more lacquer toner on then they showed fisheye - Big Fish!

These pieces were very tedious and time consuming to manufacture

I know fisheye is a tough one to beat. I probably can afford to take 1/32" off the finished surfaces using a without anybody noticing. I have a Jet flat bed 16/32 sander that would make short work or it. Would taking 1/32 off be enough to get rid of the fisheye from the existing surface. If so, what grits should I use? One pass or several getting finer?
