Other tips on sandpaper and using it....

To keep your fingers from burning while sanding place a small piece of
folded cloth behind the paper. It's an old trick that our instructor said
won't be found in a book. Works great!

And...(many already know this I'm sure)....I was tearing off strips of
sandpaper only to discover after sanding that I forgot to write the number
on them. Yesterday a light came on :O) If the strips are torn top to
bottom instead of sideways the number is always there. (Hey - everyone has
to see something for the first time!)
