Roger,

Try a woodworking shop. They usually have sander/planer machines that
use a long strip of sandpaper. I get 50 ft rolls of whatever grit I want
(up to about 360) for about $15.00 a roll.

As far as the adhesive goes, I can still get the DA quick stick adhesive
from a local automotive paint store.

Hope that gives you some ideas on local places to check.

I've been resorting to using shorter pieces and self stick adhesive
but I really don't like using 4 pieces of sandpaper.

I have a small bottle of the "self stick" kind that you smear on
sanding disks to use with a disk sander and it works fine for the
block sander, but I don't have much left and the only alternative so
far is going to be contact cement. That stuff is permanent! It'd
make changing sand paper a real bear.

All the stores I've found so far sell the sanding disks with the
adhesive already applied and no longer carry the adhesive.
