: I have been wondering about the board too. Can you use a piece of
: masonite? or MDF? And couldn't I use some spray adhesive? Or
: make a board with handles that you can wrap the paper around and
: clamp it at both ends. A picture of one would be nice. Hint Hint
: ;)

: BTW I see sandpaper for sale at flea markets and other used places
: (the paper isn't used LOL). It helps to know what things cost
: ahead of time. Lot's of times I see things that they want more
: for it there then If I got it retail.

: Mike

Cheap sandpaper isn't worth messing with, wears out way too soon. The auto body supply places also sell adhesive for sticking the paper to the board that allows it to be removed fairly easily after use, something spray adhesive won't.

I just use an auto body file (holds sand paper), works great and isn't all that expensive.
