Esp. if, immediately upon applying the sandpaper to the sticky granite, you roll a broomstick-diameter dowel across it a few times (like a rolling pin).<br /><br /><br />--GGGye Greenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972251323124084977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-86007671436942321442011-02-19T12:58:27.600-09:002011-02-19T12:58:27.600-09:00Gye - I love it!

Hmm.<br /><br />Jim B - It's called Sulky KK 2000, which is just a silly name! It's really a temporary adhesive for fabric, but so far it is lasting just fine under the abrasive sheets. I think it breaks down due to air contact, which doesn't really happen under the sheets. <br /><br />It's on the expensive side, something like $17 for a little can, but is completely non-toxic and has virtually no odor. <br /><br />I'll post an updated comment on longevity after a few more weeks.<br /><br />Adam - The coarse grits always give out in my experience, but I only use them for heavy reshaping. <br /><br />I'll have to check, but I'm pretty sure it is mostly 3M Wet/Dry, with the exception of the high end grits (1000 - 2000). Those are some brand I found at NAPA with Richard Petty on it! Scary Sharp NASCAR style!
