I need to smooth them out while still in the guitar (70’ pp). What methods have worked for you, details please.

String grooves in finger tops. I have gotten tips about 1000+ emery paper; Dremel tool polishing etc. Keep them coming.

If you are going to use emery cloth, Back it with a hard flat strip of wood or metal, and follow the curve of the finger.

Wood Craft sells a set of 8000 grit stones, Wet stone with water, Work curve of finger, Will polish a changer finger to a mirror finish.
