Q1) Do you need to use a certain grit paper (fine v. course)?

A1 - I suppose you should. One of the last things you do before final finishing is to "scrape" the binding. That removes any scratches that there might be in it.
So... I'm thinking that you'd use a pretty fine paper for the binding/finish sanding? Maybe 320 or 400?

Q3) Can you use a router to put a radius on it?

A3 - Huh!? One of the beautiful things about binding is that there is virtually no radius.
I know... I know... just thinking...

I've almost got my home building project done, and I've already told my lovely wife that I'm building another guitar when it's finished (I know; it's never finished). Now you've got me looking at binding and purfling and sparkles and tools... I've got about four guitar projects that I want to do now. I'm blaming you.
