You have to use the finest point file you have, be very gentle, and polish them with a piece of cloth. Be sure to file/wipe in line with the slight arc the top point describes as it closes-don"t file/wipe across the points, which is the easiest way, but leaves minor irregularities you can"t see but that may stick the points.. It"s hard and a pain, but cut-outs can be delicate.
