It will work fine, I do that every day.
Well, not every day of course, but fairly frequently.
I don't know what kind of paper I have, but it's just regular stuff
like you would use for sanding paint etc, nothing fancy.

Stefan,
You can adjust the gap easily by hand with some fine grit sandpaper.
I never thought it was possible to shape ferrite using sandpaper! It's pretty
hard stuff. The only grinding I have done so far on ferrite cores was by means
of a Dremel tool, using the green stones, intended for hard material. But the
Dremel of course isn't suited for getting a flat surface.
Will try it. And if it doesn't work, I have another option: I have several cores
of the same size. Each consists of one half with a shorter center leg, and one
with a full length center leg. So I can simply use two "full" halves, to get
zero air gap in the ferrite, and then gap it with paper.
