I used the dremel with an 8mm rotary cutter and a multi cutting attachment with depth adjustment set to around 1.2MM.

Then I used a mouse sander with 60 grit to do a first smoothing working my way down to finer grit before a Polish with rubbing compound then my das 6.

Once it looked smooth enough I lacquered them and gave them another flat and Polish.

They could probably do with another coat of lacquer and polished again but I ran out of time!
