Re: too much cork

Files don't seem to work at all. The best sandpaper for cork (especially if there's some cork grease already on the cork) is silicone carbide, the black abrasive, sold as "wet or dry" sandpaper for auto body work. Silicone carbide has sharper grit than the more common alum. oxide type sandpapers, so it cuts easier without pressing very hard. I glue , with contact cement, strips of wet-or-dry paper to popsickle sticks. Start out with 60 or 80 grit, finish with 120-220 grit.

If cork grease causes the sandpaper to clog up, clean with a rubber eraser.
