If I could pull the numbers out on THAT, this should be a piece of cake
The tool I used is an abrasive stick I got from Cathy (Mizkaki) it is basically a 3M EXL wheel crossed/mixed with a rubber eraser
So this is the 3m product

Is this eraser thing exclusively available to Cathy or would someone in Canada have it potentially? I like the look of the 3m one but I can see needing to practice to get a technique or I might do absolute carnage..
This would be useful for several spots on this one, right?

I will see if I have any around. Maybe in the garage. They're one of the first things I throw out with new used machines so I know there aren't any in the studio with me. At least that's something I can try while I figure out where to get the stick Steve's talking about.
