Yes I know it should be in the modding section, more people read the general so I thought I would post it here for a quicker answer. Thank you ---

What ever happened to having to mess up a lot of stuff before you learned anything??? The internet is ruining children!!! Just start off w/ something like 400 grit then work your way up to over 1000- 1500 (if you want it really smooth and shiny) ---

It took me FOREVER when I used 400 grit…use 100 to get the anno of then work your way up by using maybe 200,400,600, and more if you want. ---
