I am pretty new to edge tuning and looking for some technique advice. I have a new set of skis, that needed the bevels reset (1.5 base/2 side). I went through my process using a SVST final cut base guide and 2 degree side bevel going with a file, then 200 and 400 stones. I set base edge first, running the file until I fully removed a sharpie mark down the edge, then cleaning with the stone. I then did the same on the sides. after I finished I did a couple light passes with a gummy trying to match the bevel angles and a bit of dulling past the taper points. I then went skiing and couldn't release from the sidecut in medium firm snow but was fine in softer snow. When I got home and checked there was a burr running down the base edges that I could just feel with my nail that I am pretty sure was causing my problems. I just took off the burr with my 400 stone in the base guide and did some more gummy work so I think I am set now, the edges feel sharp but don't catch a bare finger running front to back or across from the base or sidewall.
In the future how do I prevent the burr? Is this bad technique or do I just need to plan the cleanup passes next time I set angles? I have not had this issue before but have mostly been making smaller bevel changes just to the side or just honing an already set edge with stones.
