I have not yet found a source for the 8" self-stick zirconium sandpaper

I gave a shot at googling the adhesive since being able to make my own post-it type
sandpaper has uses for me. Maybe someone will pipe up.

I've used 3M 77 contact cement for sticking sandpaper to plate glass for scary sharp
sharpening but left too long, it is way too agressive.

I have used a 3M product labeled feathering disk adhesive (see:
http://multimedia.mmm.com/mws/mediaw...6bz9COrrrr Q-
) which claims to hold several applications of new disks to the
backing. I never had much luck due to long interval between disk
changes. I haven't seen it available lately and have used rubber
cement with some success.
