One of my larger expenses for cue repair is sandpaper. The only reliable source I’ve found is the auto repair stores at $7-$9 per pack of 5 sheets. Does anyone have some good sources of sandpaper they can share via PM?

If it's made in India, RUN.
If it's made in China, maybe.

If it's made in Japan or Europe, should be good.

If it's gold backed 3M, it's gold.

Stay away from the auto parts suppliers.

Go to the Auto Paint supply stores, there is a huge difference between the two.

Full size sheets of top quality sand paper are around .75 cents each, they come in packs of 50. Full sheets from 80 grit up to 800 grit.

Half sheets start at 1000 grit and go up to 2500 grit and they are .37 cents each.


A nice tip for wetsanding with 1500 grit? Put the piece of sandpaper in the water and leave it until the edges begin to curl up, only then has it soaked up enough water to last a little longer while using. Some people dab the paper in water, it works but try soaking it for a few minutes.
