If hyou look carefully at most CD's, the aluminized layer stops short of the very edge, thus, the label plastic does not have to wrap around the edge in order to 'seal' the aluminization from the air.

However, when using sand paper, it would be quite easy to create a minute scratch close enough to the aluminized portion to allow the entry of air and moisture into that layer. If you stayed STRICTLY on the very edge, it shouldn't do anything adverse, as long as the label layer did not continue to flake or degrade once it was 'broken' at the very edges.

Still an iffy thing to be doing to CD's.
