Nobody loves sanding, and I hate it more than most in the group, so I'd like to pass along a "buy" recommendation for the Green "Hi-per" sanding discs. They're cloth-backed for good wear, have a resin-on-resin adhesive, and the grade, on the disks from Packard, is printed every half inch on the Velcro backing.
I got the assortment, just to give it a try, and have worked both wet and dry wood with it. The 120 is extremely sharp and cuts aggressively even on wet wood. It cuts so aggressively that I prefer to use the 180 to start on dry, but it loads less and sands more between cleanings than even my Power Lock resin-on-resin disks on warp-and-go pieces like the wet beech I worked last evening. I am afraid to try the 80, after seeing what the 120 will do.
Where it really comes into its own is in the finer grades, where I was extremely disappointed with the "gold" versions, returning to the Stearated Rhino brand after multiple disconnects between Velcro and paper. This stuff seems to hold better, even when you stop the lathe and put maybe a bit too much pressure on that _one_ spot, trying to avoid going back one grit.
I'm sure other places than Packard have it, but if you're looking to fill out an order to enough to justify the shipping, you might try adding this, as I did. I was pleasantly surprised.
Of course I don't work for anyone involved with the paper, and with no drawl I could never make it at Packard.
