This needs to be stickied!
I don't have the guts to try that yet, but your post makes me think that maybe I can do it. Do you run the sandpaper in only one direction or both?

Straight back and forth, trying to keep it in a straight line. You can see I have a little bit of arching, but it will be okay because this slide is destined for Cerakote.
BTW: For anybody who hasn't realized it yet, I am Butters on the other forum. I will take some better pictures later, the cell phone pictures really don't do it justice.  It IS easy, just take your time, change your paper a lot, and it is imperative that you have a granite block or some sort of certified-flat surface.

great write up Butters. I did one with files, then sandpaper.....and I dont think it saved any more time than using all sandpaper lol. In fact, all paper on a flat surface will have more control than filing.
Before, then filed:  sanded:  My file and sanding surface:

WOW! That is amazing. I have a question, do you sand with the slide on stone or stone on slide?

Trax. I have to agree with everyone else. That is a great post. I like the way you showed it through the process and then the final product so clearly. Thank you for it! Welcome to COTEP and .org!
 Now if I only could get up the nerve to do that to my Kimber, i could remove all the unwanted names!!!
