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. Bart -- Bart D.

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.
