I used aluminum angle, 2" x 2" I think or maybe 3" x 3" . I made up several, one as long as 8' to sand the foam in my scratch built wings. I got the sandpaper from the Sherwin Williams store. You can buy it in a length as long as you need and the sandpaper is very heavy duty. I glued it to the aluminum angle using the spray on adhesive you buy at Auto Repair stores that is used to glue on upholstery.

It's stiff enough that it won't bend and the edges of the sandpaper will be glued up away from the surface so they can't dig in if it comes loose. -Jeff Scott White Plains Beach, HI (for this week) > ----- Original Message ----- > From: PPaulVsk at aol.com > Sent: 04/26/14 05:46 PM > To: krnet at list.krnet.org > Subject: KR> Sanding blocks > > Any suggestions on sanding blocks.
