The Nations' Chapel tried to open a 12 step for CBG addiction, but no one's in denial... Everyone knows they are addicted and have absolutely no desire to be cured...

I just put the pull into a piece of thin wood so the bottom sticks through and sand the bottoms off on the belt sander. It works great but I wear gloves cause it can get pretty hot.

I use a hand belt sander clamped into my bench vise. I got the brass corners at the hardware store.
