Same here: re-up PLEASE
Let me see if I can remember how this is done.
1. Take a sheet of sandpaper and cut a strip 1.57 inches wide
2. Take a 1/2 inch diameter rod (I think he used an acrylic rod) and lube it up with wd-40 or some other light oil
3. Wrap packing tape with the sticky side out around the length of the rod spiraling downward in a clockwise direction.
4. Stick sandpaper to tape.
5. Roll sandpapered rod in between your hands to make sure that the sandpaper is stuck to the tape.
6. Pull sandpaper tube off of 1/2 inch rod (now you know why you lube the rod up)
7. Cut the tube into lengths that you need.
I've had good luck doing this with fabric based carpet tape, but switched over to just making 1/2 inch cardboard tubes and contact cement the sandpaper to the tube.
That link has been broken for several years and it looks like Toxic has been inactive for several years as well.
Either, depending on your mandrel. Make them to fit the mandrel you have.
There are several good YouTube videos on making the sanding drums, with tape and with glue.
Double stick tape on a ½ in. Dremel sanding drum works pretty well for a few applications of tape, WD40 will remove the tape, clean with alcohol and apply new tape. Works well for High grit Wet and Dry or polishing film.
