Sandpaper question

[BobRad]

I'm going to be at Lee Vally Tools tomorrow and I'm wondering whether to buy this stuff.

I have a lot of sandpaper around but it's mostly full size sheets of garnet for machine sanding and some sheets of black wet/dry silicon carbide.

I do have a sample pack of micromesh http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=62127&cat=1,250,43243,43245 that I have not tried

There was a thread a while back by Curtis Seebeck on cutting the sheets into strips. Cut them to the size you like, 1x3, 1.5x3 or longer or wider. and the clamp the strips together in a vise or or clamp and glue one edge with regular wood glue. THis makes you own custom made sanpaper post it. You can then tear off one strip to use as you need. I made these up one for each grit I use. Mark them to identify the different grits. I hang mine from screws using office supply spring clamps next to where I work.

Might have a look at this variety pack 800 grit thru 2000 grit sanding rolls.
I like to wet sand with this stuff.
