I like to use pink foam insulation for sanding blocks.

I like pink insulation for sanding blocks as well - the lightness (compared to a wood block) seems to make a difference after thousands of sanding strokes. For longer 'fairing board' situations, I've used a slightly more flexible foam - replacing my Masonite fairing boards.
Tom: Thanks for that idea about shaping the foam blocks - it sounds like a quick and effective shop trick.
