Sanding PE sidewalls

Post by Sherpa Burns »

Anyone sand the UHMWPE sidewall after routering the angle? I have some dark green sidewalls and after I routed them, I could see a little bit of texture. I checked the bit and it has a tiny nick in the edge.
So I tried sanding and all it does is scuff the PE and it looks terrible. Is there a certain grit or material to use?
The only other option I see is increasing the edge bevel with a new sharper bit.
