sand paper length

[mike's8288]

Hi everyone. I've been lurking around here for a while, just gaining info. Great place. Here is a question that I have not seen addressed, people here, and other sites, recommend block sanding panels with hand sanders as long as possible(8-12") at least, on flat panels. I accept that opinion, but where do I find sheets of sandpaper over the standard size, found in auto stores, i.e autozone, pepboys, etc?

I buy mine in rolls and cut to length.

Yep, roll sandpaper it the way to go. It comes in stick on that is the correct width (2 3/4") and can be cut to fit any of length sanding block or board.

You can buy it right on this website, or like a NAPA usually.
