Give it one more try, this time using 3M Super 77 spray adhesive. It's
the only one I can use (on my laptop glare guards) which will go on

I didn't think that a very tenacious adhesive. I use #77 to adhere abrasive paper to


It's exceedingly more tenacious for porous materials, Wes. But if you
don't ike that, try 3M #90 Hi-strength.


glass when I want to do some scary sharpening. If I don't leave the paper on for too long
I can pull it up rather easily. If I go say, 6 months, well, it really stick but by then
humidity changes has caused the abrasive paper to hump up in places making the paper
useless.


For ScarySharping, spray it on MDF and stick the paper to that. I use
whatever flat surface is handy at the moment, including laminate
countertops. The 50% of the times I do it dry, it doesn't matter.
