I quit buying from catalogs years ago, but unfortunately still get some junk snailand email.Haven't gotten anything from this company in years (well, once in the last 10,just a few months ago, an 18' long sanding belt...).TODAY I got this junk email, about wood bending. Kinda funny in light of the recentdiscussions on wood bending. Probably pretty good info, albeit a bit muchfor capstrips.However, and more appropriately, THIS IS THE COMPANY if you need sandpaper, OFANY KIND. Simply the best I've EVER used.They sell a "cutoff assortment" of stuff. I got one 15 years ago and haven't useda third yet. You just can't wear it out. Works GREAT for all sorts of sandingblocks and such. Great EAA chapter group buy or something, divy it up amongstfriends. DO NOT GET what they call "coarse" sandpaper, they're talkinglike 40 grit! You can sand jagged cement with the stuff, not much applicationfor hand use!You can also get custom belts for no more per inch than anything "standard". That18' belt I got was thirty bucks. Not bad considering one about 4' long isabout eight bucks from big box retailers. I get custom discs from them, no more than normal pricing. I have a 15" disc sander(really not that odd, but not gonna find that size very many places). Ihave other friends who get 24 and 30 inch discs from them! Also custom "pieces". I got a 12 x 36" piece of wet/dry for a piece of plate glassI have to lap the bottom of planes and plane irons. Been using it for 15years. Think it was fifteen bucks or so. All the gadget woodworking stuff... yoyo (you're on your own!).Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: 3M T-88 glue dispensing gun / spar gluing....
