Review on Sandpaper Sticky Longboard Adhesive Woodworking by Tim Morrison

Revainrating 2 out of 5

It clogs very badly when sanding dry, but not when sanding wet.

Bought four reels of this brand. I used 120 for the first time on a fridge door I'm renovating. Having had clogging issues with other brands of sandpaper, I was very cautious at first. I made 5 or 10 light strokes and looked at the paper. clogged. I used a wire brush and my nails to remove it, but 5 or 10 more light taps and it clogged again. Clog wire brush - grind 10 seconds, Clog wire brush - grind 10 seconds, Clog wire brush - grind 10 seconds. Needless to say I am very disappointed. I don't want to send it back but I'll never finish at that speed. Rather than the hassle of sending it back and possibly doing the same thing with a different brand, I decided to try wet sanding. I'm happy to report that it didn't clog at all when wet sanding and although I didn't sand much the PSA seemed to stick. I really didn't want wet sandpaper because it's such a mess, but for now it's better than sending it back. And every cloud has a silver lining - I don't need a respirator. However, I may end up with a children's pool if the mess gets too big.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Some defects
