Non Clog is Great Stuff
Hi,
I have been using the "Non Clog" 220, 320, and 600 from Industrial Online for leveling out my epoxy sealer on the cues. This stuff is more expensive but it lasts 5 times longer because you can vacuum off the dust build up fast.
The silicon carbide I was using cloged up very fast and I was using a lot more paper. I still use the silicon carbide for quick step sanding shaft wood and wet sanding the clear coat.
Try it, you will like it!!!

Jim, thats going to be a problem spot for me as the small Dilbert cubicle shop
is in one room for now. My wood lathe which will be used for finishing has no other place to be. I have a dust collector and a small portable construction site air filter. I'm going to wipe everything down and run those as long as it takes to clear the room and keep my fingers and toes crossed. I know no matter how hard you try, there'll still be airborne dust particles floating around. Maybe I can build a filter system like Chris's to sit behind the lathe.
Maybe my wood lathe will be in the spare bedroom soon. Thats going to make my wife super happy as I promised I would turn the spare room into a reading room for her.

Make her a cue to match her wood case :thumbup2:
So once you get all those grits here's a tip I saw once on storing the stuff. Expandable accordian-style folders work great to keep the grits organized and keep the paper flat. Something like this :

Now thats a heck of an idea, and here I was going to build a sandpaper holder. That just saved me a day.
SPACE- the final frountier....
I hear ya!
And, as to storage, I suggest keeping all paper over 325 in separate freezer zip-lock bags to keep them from cross-contaminating or picking up any crap floating around the shop or dripping off bench tops.
Obviously, no one uses every possible step to keep things clean; however compare cars painted in the back yard to cars painted in a down-draft spray booth and you tell me which looks better before blocking and buffing...
Cleanliness is next to Godliness, or at least next to really nice finishes...:wink:
