Again, I'm not an expert, but I think I remember reading that sandpaper isn't so good for this. It roughens the surfaces, and that actually reduces the heat transfer. Someone correct me if this is wrong, but I think a very fine abrasive compound on the mating surfaces might improve their flatness and fit, and thus the heat transfer. Maybe something like jeweler's rouge? And I think you'd probably still need heatsink compound.
