Andrea,
It is a bit harder on a flat lap to get a smooth finish but it can be done. I started with an inland 3n1 before getting my geni. One possibility is that the material itself has a different hardness throughout. That can make it a bit tricky and can cause the orange peel. Also, if you are being too heavy handed, it increases that effect. Try lightening the pressure you apply, starting again at the 200 level of disc you have and work up from there. It may correct the problem so you are not waiting on soft backers (which is always a good idea) to get the job done. You can also move on to the next preform and go back to this cab when you want to deal with it again. I have done that more times than I would like to admit.
Hope that helps,
Fran

The outside looks so plain compared to the treat within! make sure you wear your safety equipment when you work it.
