Yes, or 3M fre-cut even better.  But if, as I think, David is 
planning to re-contour the bridge, then I would have a grinding shop 
make up a tool in cobalt steel to _scrape_ or "scratch" the new 
radius first with the tool held in a home-made scratch stock.  It 
would be very slow and inconvenient to to this with files or 
abrasives.
