I really tried and wanted them gone on my Taurus but got weary with the effort involved and the lack of any real progress. I went with course emory cloth, medium emory, then 220, to 320, to 400. One of the things Im striving to control is the urge to keep going on something to the point of no return...knowing when to stop.

What I ended up with is the roll marks are now nicely subdued but still readable, I ended up quite pleased.

Heck...why limit yourself to a dremel. Go whole hog and lay your belt sander on its side. You can obliterate your slide really fast with that!

That's why my wife won't let me buy a belt sander! I once removed fingerprints with an orbital sander,don't ask.Seriously though,this has inspired me to tackle an idiot scratch that I put on my Gold Cup.

Just be sure to pull your slide before the sparks stop.
