if you go to a cut glass hoby store you can get glass rub stones, they take a bit but work good, if you want to use sand paper you need silicon carbide paper (as mentioned above) with a heavy weight back. don't even try other typed of grit. if you can find it in low quantities start with a 80 grit then go to a 150ish, then depending on how smooth you want it finnish off with a 220 then higher like 400 if you want.. if it is not a visual edge I would stop at the 220 that should leave you almost a frosted look.
