    Default Sandpaper on the bay

    This post follows up a question I raised in another thread here at the workshop.

    I went and looked through all 800 or so US based auctions for sandpaper on ebay. The going rate for you-pick-the-grit wet/dry seems to be around $0.75 to $1.00 per sheet of 9x11 shipped with grits ranging from 80 to 2500 grit.

    Here's the best deal I found: 25 sheets, u-pick for $18.50 shipped

    This equates to $0.74/sheet of wet/dry sandpaper.

    25 Sheets WET - DRY 9 x 11 Sandpaper You Pick the Grits - eBay (item 160332411549 end time May-31-09 16:46:30 PDT)

    They have 80, 100, 120, 150, 180, 220, 360, 400, 500, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1500, 2000, 2500 grits available.

    Bruno recommends progressing from 220, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200 to 2000 on the wiki.

    Any input in terms of quality or type of sandpaper from restorationmeisters welcome.

    Conflicts of interest: I am in no way affiliated with the seller.

    Good price. Just make sure its good quality like 3M or something equivalent tho I haven't seen 2500 in the cheap n nasties. Might be an OK deal.

    An even scratch pattern, showing sieve size is consistent when they sift the abrasive particles.
    Some papers cut deep & irregular patterns making previous scratch removal awkward. Look at a 'Micromesh' scratch pattern compared to any wetndri and it is even smoother but way more exe.

    I have to agree with the quality of the paper as I found myself the hard way. Those cheapies just do not last as long as decent stuff. I am not rich enough to buy cheap stuff.

    I think thats the exact same stuff I bought on ebay. I love the sandpaper, it outlives the 150 Grit Norton I use. I'd recommend it, I've used it to sand up 2 razors now with only good things to say!

    I just bought a 10-pack from the seller, all in 800+ grits because I can get the others at my local hardware store. I'll see how it goes.
