I'm pretty sure places like Woodcraft sell the stuff...from what I seen prices are decent, keep in mind this product lasts a LOT longer than conventional sandpaper! Wink

Let me know if you want to try some, I have a set of strips in 120, 180, 230, 320, 400 more or less a starter pack....the real beauty of this stuff is it doesn't clog as it's essentially open...so you just tap out the sawdust occasionally! Wink

I do believe that you are right John. I think that I have seen some at Woodcraft. Have not tried it yet, but am definitely going to have to. Clogging is one of the worst things about sand paper!!!

That's not necessary John. I certainly appreciate it though. It sounds awesome. Sandpaper can be a real pain in the hiney!!!  Grin

I caught Amazon with a closeout on some grits of Abranet.  You might check to see if they still have it on closeout. I think they keep it in their product line.
