If you have a way to deal with the black powder that results and it
won't ruin whatever you're working on, those mesh drywall sanding sheets
work great for removing lots of stuff from wood. In my experience, at
least.

I was in Lowes today. They had it in narrow sheets, but I was looking
for 5" discs for the random orbit sander. Do they exist?


I buy 5" 8-hole Norton pads from Harbor Freight. They last pretty
darned well, as they should for a buck a pop.
