Hi Martin and a very warm welcome to the forum. I hope you benefit from our tutorials and enjoy reading some of our postings. Feel free to share your own experiences and let us see waht you have been making.

As for your sanding, the problem you describe is a classic example of using flexible sanding materials too early. You must remove the bulk of the material with a ridgid sanding tool such as a file or an emery board before finishing with something much finer.

Even then I usually tend to stay with a better supported sanding material than just wet and dry in your fingers.

Stick to this principle and your bumps will all be a thing of the past!!
