Accu-Glass Products, Inc. recommends using at minimum, a four step polishing process.  Quickly remove excess epoxy from the tip of the connector using 5µm or larger polishing/lapping film.  Proceed with the polishing/lapping process with 3µm film until all of the epoxy is removed from the connector tip.  Proceed to the 1µm film and polish to desired finish.  A 0.3µm lapping film is available for situations that require an extra fine polish.
