Default Recoil Pad Installation - How to suggestions please

I have ordered a Hawkins recoil pad and would like to do the installation myself when I receive the Trojan 20 ga just purchased. I don't have a belt sander which I believe most 'smiths' use in shaping the pad to fit the butt stock. Nor do I have access to one. Is it possible to take one down with rasp/file and then final sanding by hand? Any suggestions? I really would prefer to do this myself.

Or bite the proverbial bullet and buy a belt sander.
