A really nice tool for doing this is an interproximal strip. These are
thin single-sided flexible abrasive strips used for working on
dentures and the like. You should be able to get them from a dental
supply company.

I didn't exactly get rich, but I earned a reasonable living when I was
doing this full-time. There is no shortage of work for someone who can
do reasonably priced repairs to a wide variety of harps. Of course, it
is also a very good way to go insane very quickly...
