Is it me or is Micarta/G-10 just harder to finish than wood?
I've done a few handles and they've turned out great. Others however, are a disaster. I prefer the smooth semi glossy to glossy look on the handles rather than the fuzzy feel.
I generally rough it out with a 120 belt and then start hand sanding at 120. Then up to 400 and sometimes finish up with a ScotchBrite pad or steel wool. Sometimes I get good results, but most of the times not.
What am I doing wrong here?
Any suggestions?
