Roughen up quickwood on grips

I have been working with quickwood on my air pistol grips and when you sand down some areas it gets quite smooth. I notice my hand tends to slip a little. How do you guys get around that? Stipple it? Is there a dremel attachment? Throw some grip tape on there? TIA.

I use grip tape or superglue and a sample of sandblasting media I got years ago. I would think a pointed Dremel bit would work. I don't think traditional stippling with a punch and hammer is a good idea as it would probably break off chips.

The point of a dremel tip does in fact work very well. I've done it that way on QuickWood. It's less effective on the hand itself. ;-)

I use a cheap engraving tool from our local hardware superstore. Has a variable speed of vibration. Doesn’t chip the quickwood.
