what kind of putty are you using? did you let it dry completely before sanding? just the rough sand paper and work your way up to the 1000 and higher grid. I don't see there being any trick, just keep sanding.

Uhm...that sounds like regular ol' toulene hobby putty to me, it's supposed to do that, to make it stronger. Touelene is the same stuff they put in plastic glue. Did you try folding your sand paper in half and using the edge to get into the grooves?
