Will wet/dry sandpaper over glass work?

Yep, the kit is not too expensive but it costs 30 dollars to ship to the Philippines.

You don't need the special Edge Pro Round Glass kit. You could buy the 1/2lb bag of Silicon Carbide

-or-

Simply use abrasives over something flat, which means Sandpaper would work. Make sure you buy Silicon Carbide infused Sand paper

Will wet/dry sandpaper over glass work?

Yes, it will work very well. So will flattening on a 'decorative' (so it's a bit smoother than the building type,) cinder block or a smooth cement block from a DIY shop.

Thanks yes, I think I'll try these. Any suggestions as to grit size?

 

[xtestifyx]

Use any grit below the Stone's rating. I know it's not the same, but generally the rougher the better, this will make your stone as rough as the sand paper so you may want to progress to higher grits to match the stone

Best of luck

Thanks, and one more thing, should I use it wet or dry?

 

[stitchawl]

Any suggestions as to grit size?

I'd estimate that my dedicated stone flattener to be about 80 grit or larger. It really is quite rough. Certainly rougher than any cinder block I've seen.

As a side question.

I have some DMT stones, you could flatten your stones on those couldn't you?
