I love a good sheet of sandpaper. You can use it to lap a piece flat, cut a piece off to use only as much as you need, comes in lots of different formulations and grits.
And they’re terrible in shared spaces.
They get put back in the wrong spot, put back while completely used up, cut with scissors (dulling the scissors), and curled up.
In a shared space, shop rolls are the move. Easily rippable. No one puts back a used segment. Even if they don’t wear the segment out, there’s no big loss.
Sometimes what works in a professional or home shop, doesn’t work in a shared space.
