Carborundum?

It's fantastic.

Paper should be outlawed, as it's a rip off.

Sanding cloth lasts far longer, doesn't tear like paper, doesn't clog
like paper, and is just all around better.

When a place like West Marine sells "marine" sand paper, what they are
doing is proving that they are willing to lie and deceive for a few
bucks.

I've often wondered about that myself.

I was in the Corps 35+ years ago and I don't ever remember being
issued Marine sandpaper. ;)

Later,

You got me thinking Bertram......
Probably the greatest thing I could do for my country is working my hardest
to make sure that no wacky right wing, neo conservative, religious
fundalmentalist ever takes control here. Thanks for bringing that up. Too
often we take things for granted.
