Sourcing sand paper

[peter2407]

I am after sand paper for a Bosch Prio, which is a two part hand held velcro type attachment method. In particular, I am after very fine, preferably 320 grit but would look at 240. The best I can find is 180 which I think isnt fine enough. Any ideas?

Lots of velcro sanding discs on Ebay at 240 grit like these which might fit.

or you could cut your own. Google velcro sanding sheets.

You can even just stick a cut out piece of ordinary sandpaper over an old velcro one with impact adhesive - works perfectly.

It must be at least 10 years ago that someone on this forum recommended buying industrial grade sanding sheets from somewhere that supplies car bodywork repairers. I took this advice and bought 100 sheets of Siarex 70 mm by 125 mm in 180 and 80 grades plus a two degrees of firmness Velcro block. I'm now about halfway through this stock having used them for all DIY jobs. They've lived up to the promised claims of durability and cost effectiveness. I've supplemented this stock with some finer grades when varnishing.
