Make sure you sand, or if you use a fine file, to stroke verrrry lightly and to stroke away from the gap.

here's where i got the idea. I went over all the edges of my rings as well with 400 but i didn't use a scuff pad to remove any coating like this guy. http://www.circletrack.com/howto/4639/

In the old days, engine builders used to use large stones to smooth out the surface of the rings to achieve a better seal between the ring and the piston ring land. Now days rings are much flatter from the manufacturer.

The sharpening stone sounds like it would be easier to use than the sandpaper. good idea https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif One of those little stones, like 1" x 4" x 1/4", would be perfect I bet.
