Used a smooth diamond file after regular file

any updates on where to get the fine tooth bastard file?

I use a Fine, Single cut instead of Bastard cut, Bastard is for coarse filing i believe and may be more abusive on the glass (if you press excessively, but i'm sure you can finesse it). The Single cut Fine file is less abusive.

I've tried them both, just my opinion, i attached a link to the exact items i bought, they come in different lengths. 

This is my 8 inch Fine, Single cut file (rated as fine) - http://a.co/d/8r35aQg 
This is my 10 inch Fine, Single cut, Bastard cut file (rated as coarse) - http://a.co/d/bMISjq3

Saw on amazon do you select fine when ordering when you shave do you use only upward strokes how do you use it bro....when you file is there a certain way you do it with the file lines if that makes sense like how the file lines are angled??

Only push the file upward and don't pull, keep the file vertical at 12 o'clock and your file stroke should go up in the direction of 1 to 2 o'clock, and try to cut as much as you can per stroke. That's why i like the longer files. You'll likely need a small hobby file for each end at the vertical gaskets.
