What is the best way to deal with the rough pinked edges after spraying the silver poly spray? I haven't done any wet sanding yet but was wondering if sanding after the second cross coat is going to get rid of these ugly areas? It seems like no matter how careful I try to be when applying the finish tapes I am still ending up with some of these areas.

I have even tried heat sealing the pinked edges down using the oven cooking bag trick. I did this after the spray coats of poly brush, before spraying the silver. After heat sealing, the edges seemed down nice and looked good but there still ended up being some ugly areas.

Is more heat sealing and wet sanding going to get rid of this.....along with all the lint, cat hair, dust specks :( ?
