polished fingerboard ?

I'm getting to grips with my NS CR4MG (graphite fingerboard) but I'm fighting it a bit when my hands warm up, as it becomes harder to slide my fingers up the board and the strings (I'm using Hybrid Helicores instead of the std. strings).

One thing I have noticed is that the finish of the board is pretty poor by any standard you'd care to apply, lots of sanding marks and not all in the same direction.

I'm tempted to give it a sand to a fairly high degree, not to a high polish, but maybe 1000 grit or so.

Any better suggestions ? Fast Fret perhaps ?

I've copied your post on the Setup & Repair forum.
You may find better answers with the luthiers there.
