I've seen lots of posts asking what kind of sandpaper to use, and where to get it.
The general consensus, that I've seen, is that 3M, Norton, Indasa, and Sunmight are the top choices for most grits.
For finishing grits, Eagle Abrasives and Sunmight seem to top the list.
Not all jobbers carry what you want or need, so sometimes we have to go online to find it. Amazon is the "go to" site for many.
Finding the right sandpaper on Amazon can actually be hard. This is because a lot of cheap or unknown brands are paying for top search results, or the brand you are looking for hasn't done a good job of indexing their products.
I've spent hours and hours pulling together a list of links, to the most common grits, of the brands that people seem to like the most, and posted it on my website.
**It also includes the finishing grits and materials for the "Jim C" cutting and buffing process.
