Question about sanding

Does anyone know of a good type of sandpaper for glass, or an easier way of sanding glass rather than using sheets and taking a year to finish the job?

If you are trying to make a design, it's easier and recommended you make a stencel and use a small sandblasting machine

I'm more of trying to smooth the glass down so it's all flush. Would the sandblasting help in that situation?

That's part of it but that would take forever sanding it. I already tried and realized I will be here forever if I just use some sand paper and sand it down, here and there. I need something that will only take like an hour or 2, 3 at tops. Do you have any ideas?

Well thank you, I never knew that's what the craze was about. I was even late to know what shift_this, shift_that meant. I just knew a lot of folks on the board was starting to use that phrase
