What type of sand paper do you all use to cover the large area of a sanding disk? Size, type, manufacturer? Thanks. Eric Edit PS: I should have said "dish" instead of "disk". Sorry. |

Eric, what type of sanding disk? A ROS? and bench top disk sander? a hand held block? I use purple sandblaster, in the 180 grit, it comes in standards sheets, precut sheets and sticky backed. I LOVE IT ALL, its the best paper Ive ever used. For my ROS, I use the stuff sears sells, in various grits, for my 12" disk sander, I'm using what came with it. Not sure the manufacture. For finish work, I use the Bull Dog brand of sanding disks, and the Abralon pads. |

Lance, I'll be sanding the rim of my bouzouki, both top and back edges. Since I didn't build a radiused top or back, I'll just sand them on a flat table top (instead of in a dish). But I'd like to cover a large, flat area with sandpaper. Just wondering if I should use adhesive backed, long strips, 8"x10" sheets or what.  Guess I'm not too familiar with what's out there besides the average hardware store selection of pre-cut squares and rounds. Thanks.

Eric, check with John Hall (OLF Sponser) Blues Creek Guitar, he has 22 and 24 inch sticky backed sanding disks, you could cut to fit. I have them on all my radius dishes, the 80 grit, and they really do the job well. |

Another vote for John's discs. |

I just get 80 grit stuff from the local hardware store. Industrial-type strips, each about 4" wide, cut to size and use spray adhesive to stick 'em down. Last a few guitars, easy to replace. |

Mattia Yep, that's the way I do it too. I keep my old MDF bowls just for this. Gluing is done in the moulded plastic bowls that I get from Craft Supplies. Glue doesn't stick to them. Their catalogue shows MDF bowls but the ones they sell are made from a moulded hard plastic material. Colin |

I just line the sandpapered bowls with newspaper. Works perfectly for me. Interesting about the molded plastic, though, might be worth considering. How heavy are they? Lighter than MDF, or heavier? |
