I bought some high quality sandpaper a long time ago from a swap meet for pretty cheap, turns out that it was some pretty good stuff. Now I am pretty low on a couple of grits and I was wondering where I should pick some up from. I know there are a lot of different brands and high and low quality stuff, and have read a couple of old threads on other forums but im curious what you guys use and where do you get it.
Thanks all! Andrew |

Any body use the new 3M ceramic grit. It is about 2x the price of standard stuff, reviews say it last for ever. Just not sure if these reviews are on the payroll so to speak. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I find sandpaper gums up much quicker than it wears. I would typically keep a wire brush next to me and once the paper was mostly loaded I would brush it real quick.. But there would be stuck gummy spots that wouldnt come off, after a while the paper is not reliably flat. This is when I would replace it. I typically have a separate sandpaper board specifically for knocking initial filler or primer down as thats the stickiest. With how good current sandpaper is, I dont think its worth the cost for anyone other than a pro shop. |

In my experience you can feel the edge. My spare time is free, but using worn out paper gets me impatient. |
