Use a quick search and it'll yield a lot of results. Besides youd get better info on the TPI board or maybethe FAQ's.

Just find something flat that will fit between the runners, and wrap some sand paper around it.

use strips of stand paper as mentioned but use finer and finer grits to acheive the smooth look. also being the cast version wont take much to knock down you souldn't need much sanding.
