Ok, the school has finally gave me some budget money (thanks Arnold for stealing school’s money…) to spend on my free ROP Plastics job training program.
Usually, the finest sandpaper I get is 600 grit (I just tell them worn out 600 is like 800+ grit sandpaper), but with moving more into the high end composites, I want to get some 800, 1000, 1200 & 1500 grit sandpaper for the students to use…but I priced them at MacFadden Dale hardware (Local supplier with everything industrial) and for a sleeve (Peral brand) was like $45.00 per 50 sheets, or $1.00 per sheet! Granted, they always sell the best quality products, but…I got to spread what little I get a long ways.
I’m going to surf the web this weekend looking for a better deal on sandpaper but where do you get these sandpaper grits, what brand & how much do you spend on a sleeve of them?
How about micro ballons (I have several just graduated from HS students that are big on doing speaker enclosures) but I was going to try and see if I can get Coastal Ent. (Pur foam sheet maker near us…) to give us their PUR saw dust and mix that with PER for a paste. Anyone try that?
How about PE Fleese? I have a adult student that is going to research a supplier in the garment district in downtown LA in the next week or so.
