: I've been working on sanding all the bumps, drips, and other imperfections
: off my two Pygmys, and man is it ever going S...L...O...W... .

: (Again, lesson to new builders: scrape off those drips while green! you'll
: regret it otherwise!)

: To exacerbate the problem (I love that word), my sandpaper seems to get worn
: out very rapidly. I'll put a new quarter-sheet in my palm sander, and
: it'll last for maybe one square foot of sanding, if even that.

If you sandpaper is clogging there are solvents used to soften this up and then wire brush it out. I use car tar spray and then brush.
