<p>Substitute for sandpaper with Shinto brand Japanese saw rasp. </p>
<p>For a home made version tape a few cheap hacksaw blades together <a href="https://www.instructables.com/id/Gang-Saw-Thin-Rasp/" target="_blank">https://www.instructables.com/id/Gang-Saw-Thin-Rasp/</a></p>

<p>Thanks for the replies. I found that the Gator paper they sell at walmart is horrible. The 3M flexible stuff is okay but I like to glue some to different shaped blocks and the backs on 3M flexible doesn't adhere to anything. Never tried Norton I'll have to give it a try. Lately, I've been using Diablo and anything under 100 grit I generally just buy sanding belts because they last a really long time and they can be bent into smooth curves.</p>

<p>I love my random orbital sander and mostly use 80 grit. I am not much of an artist, but I am almost an artist with that sander. It removes stock rapidly and shapes things nicely - but they can dig a hole where you don't want a hole. </p>
<p>Gees, my mind wanders. That made me think of my playing buddy doc's short dissertation on gender change surgeries. "It's easier to make a hole than a pole."</p>

<p>Hi, I have a whole range of different sanding sticks, even down to the size of those emery boards.</p>
<p>I use the adhesive backed sandpaper and make my own "emery boards" by glueing different grades to old feeler gauges or the like.</p>
