j_nigrelli Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 i've bought 3M products at Home Depot. the best i have used is Klingspor UltraFlex but did buy several grades on the internet in 10 packs. i would imoagine Lowes and most paint shops would sell them locally.

crazyjim Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Wal-Mart, Walgreens, CVS, K-Mart all carry nail sanding boards in a variety of grits. Scale Dreams also sells sanding sticks in a variety of grits. You might aalso want to check Flexifile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forthlin Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I use the Novus foam sanding pads. They usually come in sets of 6 pads. Grits start a lot finer, though, than you're looking for. They start at 2400, ending at 12000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGary Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Go back a few issues of our favorite magazine and there is a large ad for a company that has pads in various grits for a good price. You do actually read MCM, right? Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olle F Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) They do but only in coarse grits...I'm looking for 1000 , 1200 , or 1500 grit Look again, Walmart usually carries sets of three and they are marked "clean", "condition" and "shine" ( http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?...uct_id=10414122 ). I use them for model building, but have also found that they are great for doing trigger jobs on guns so I buy them quite frequently.
