I usually rough the part down to approximate shape, reapply sanding sealer and finish with fine grade sand paper.

Oh - unless you have no sense of smell don't apply sanding sealer indoors. It's ok when it's dry though.

I do this with no furry effect, maybe the 100 grit paper at 10,000 rpm makes a difference. Although I am sure the sanding sealer would work, I try to get these things done with as few steps as possible, as I am always trying to get to the end.
