Do you have a hardware shop you can go to? Maybe you could get some chipboard or masonite. You may be able to find something else smoother. They might even be able to cut it for you . What about an chopping board. I’d try and find a smoother surface to use rather than fixing a rought one. Just a thought..Good Luck..
