Daniel The Rocket N00b, Sanding Block Tip

I love my Great Planes Easy Touch sanding block.
Problem #1, Great Planes is owned by Hobbico, recently bankrupt. I hope somebody picks up and produces this sanding block. It is the best available. There are still a few blocks for sale on Ebay. I do recommend picking one up. (I have two in use and two more unopened extras.)

Problem #2, Great Planes doesn't sell adhesive backed 400 grit sandpaper rolls for it. The only sell 80, 150 and 220 grit sandpaper rolls.

Daniel (The Rocket N00b) told me about some 400 grit adhesive backed sandpaper imported by Klingspoor. CLICK HERE It is a very fine 400 grit.
Problem #3, the Klingspor adhesive sticks too well! It's difficult to peel off and leaves sticky gunk on the block.
Daniel suggested peeling off the sticky sandpaper under running water, making removal much easier. You might have to use a little Goo Gone after the paper is peeled off.

Here's the best solution as suggested by The Rocket N00b.
For a more detailed description of this tip stop by his blog: CLICK HERE

Some 3" wide masking tape is placed (sticky side up) onto the bottom base of the sanding block.

The 400 grit Klingspor sandpaper is then stuck onto the bottom of the block, onto the masking tape.
The Klingspor sandpaper is now stuck onto the masking tape, not directly on the flat aluminum base of the sanding block.

To remove the sandpaper, just lift and peel!
Both the Klingspor sandpaper and masking tape layer come off together.

TIP: Extend the life of your sandpaper many times over by removing off any loaded up gunk with a soft brass brush under running water. Use a circular motion when cleaning off accumulated glues and sealers.
