	I suppose, if you had a belt sander, you might try it BUT YOU SHOULDN'T! Sorry for yelling, just wanted to make sure you heard me. I am guessing the result would be a very poor one. Maybe not. Try it and if i'm wrong I'll eat a TT Ball! ( to JimT) Buy a new sheet with the desired sponge thickness.

	The result will be VERY uneven. You'll have bumps and cracks everywhere. Don't do it.

	I did it a few times with Sriver and the results were not too bad. I took a Max (~2.25) down until it felt like my 'normal' sheets of 1.7. I did not notice any huge inconsistencies! Which is very surprising given that: 1) It was all done by hand and by pure guess work 2) Later, when I moved up to 1.9 on the BH I found the move difficult. So I think I would have noticed the sanded 1.7 being more than 0.1mm out!
