make your own velcro backed sandpaper

[@acgrateful3373]

Love your comment about being a digital man! And thanks for the awesome money saving tip!!!

[@aganbalangalibun347]

Tayler thank you very much for the idea! Worked a charm! For anyone wondering what other material to use, I tried using Felt and it worked a charm!

[@travisbugg1337]

Great idea! I do a lot of wet sanding on automobiles and the velcro discs are extremely overpriced here in the U.S. This has the potential to save me a lot of money. Thanks a million!

[@ParaBellum2024]

I've used double-sided tape to stick new abrasive paper directly to the worn out piece, without removing it from the sander. It works ok and is quick. I'm also going to try glueing new paper onto the worn out pieces and leaving them to dry. Hopefully it'll work just as well, although it will require an overnight wait before the sheet can be used.

[@gheralbraga7555]

Definitely a good idea, I'll try it. Thank you very much for sharing. Here in the US the fabric would be challenging but I will look for it.

[@TheFakeyCakeMaker]

digital glue applicator lol! I like it!

[@doityourselfpakistan6535]

very nice sir , i Live in pakistan and couldent find one too in most areas , so i ll make my one .

[@dooshakhaboosha2573]

Where in Aus do you buy the doll material from ?

[@foorwq7816]

You'r right, saves a lot of money...and all thanks to you sir.

[@thanhtamoanthi8468]

Great. But can you tell me what the name of the glue and the name of the velcro fabric ?

[@jell-oputin8036]

Thanks . I was curious on what type of glue to use. Now I know . Cheers 🍻

[@obfuscated3090]

I use thumb tacks to hold down sandpaper and other abrasives when applying adhesive. A quick drying adhesive is spray headliner adhesive (any auto store) which incidentally makes good paper gasket adhesive as it's the same stuff as Gasgacinch.

Good work. just got one of those velcro sanders today and this will be perfect. I have a large job coming up soon and need a few of the sanding pads for it.

[@tarmac245]

We get ripped off in NZ. Even allowing for exchange rates, AU and USA prices are can be 2 times or more dearer. So making your own velcro sanding sheets is a great idea. Thank mate.

[@deanthomas579]

Thank you for your very valuable information because I have not been able to find the velcro backed in Australia either - the same very expensive and not practical refills for electric sanders. Well Done

[@TaylerMade]

nothing wrong with being cheap lol. i am a master of it lol

[@TaylerMade]

nothing wrong with being cheap, i am a master at it lol

[@armyguy8022]

I use an old rolling pin when I apply veneer. I think it would work to flatten the glue

[@TaylerMade]

now thats an excellent idea!!! thanks i will use that in future

[@JohnDoe-mp1zk]

A quick search yielded the following prices. Thanks again for pointing us in the right dirtection Felt $3-$4 a yard Veltex Fabric $13.40 a yard doll velour $8-$10 a yard

[@turtleturtle49]

Hi could you please tell me where in NZ you bought the valure backing. I am also in NZ.

[@larryfroot]

Excellent. Thanks mate!

[@anthonythomas280]

GREAT THINKING .I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW THE NA OF THAT CLOTH YOU USE . THANKS FOR SHARING TONY

[@vahidnajafzadeh4137]

Thanks for this nice demo. I was thinking of using scotch that we use for washing dishes instead of your material. What do you think

[@angelayala3630]

Anyone knows if I can get this Velcro in the United States ?

[@viocaptar322]

There is also AGRO MATERIAL. In my country we use it for green houses, same for furniture. Its perfect for velcro

[@theLLfromHELL]

what is the name of this fabric???

[@TaylerMade]

in nz its called "doll velour"

[@theLLfromHELL]

oh, great! Almost is something to begin me search here in Brazil. Thank you very much!

[@pseyedoc]

well done!!

[@cynthiagougian5549]

Have you tried Veltex Fabric? I am not sure if it's less, or more expensive than doll velour.

[@TaylerMade]

no i haven't... thanks i will check it out.

[@JohnDoe-mp1zk]

I bet in the states you could find something similar at a store called Michael's ( www.michaels.com ) or Jo Ann Fabrics ( www.joann.com ) I'm in MN but believe they are national chain stores. Michaels is an arts and crafts store. Thanks for taking the time to share your idea with us. Greatly appreciated.

[@djaki1229]

What type of cloth did you use to make it stick to a velcro?

[@TaylerMade]

its called dolls velour in nz. hope that helps.

[@hairymelon5551]

Thank you, that's a great hint. The velcro sand paper things are way overpriced and this will save me a shed load of money.

[@hell0hkitty]

to john doe from tayler: I BOUGHT IT AT A DRESSMAKING SHOP, BUT SPOTLIGHT WOULD PROBABLY BE YOUR BEST BET. (HAVING TROUBLE POSTING COMMENTS)

[@emberoze]
