Thanks again for all the input.  |
I wouldn't sand higher than 320 before filling. Ideally you will be left with a thin and even film of pumice after filling that can then be sanded away with either 320 or 400 before starting polishing. You can always fill again if (when) you sand through so it's a time consuming but relatively low-stakes job. Just make sure you don't have any residual swirl marks from the pumice before polishing!
