Charlie, I see that you also asked about attaching the sandpaper to the dish. You can pick up 3m spray adheasive at any hardware store or big box hardware store for about $10 a can. It will last you a long time, you only need a thin coat and the paper will stick very very well.
and having a roller like this one will help get the paper down good a tight.
