I applied 3 coats of clear gloss lacquer last night. All 3 coats were "wet" coats.

I'll be letting it dry today and tonight I will go over it with 320 grit paper.
Questions
1.) When I sand, should I wet sand or do it dry?
2.) How do you guys handle the mouldings around the bottom and the columns? I'm very paranoid that I'm going to sand right through a corner. Is steel wool a good option in these areas? Any other options?
