    Sandpaper Thread - types, grits, vendors, storage

    Hi all, I'm about to restock my sandpaper supply and I'm just curious what you all do in this department. I used to just buy it during trips to the local hardware stores, but I think I'm just going to stock up this time around. (I always end up missing what I need or having to skip too many grits.)

    I like garnet, and I usually get 100, 120, 150, 180, and 220 grit sheets and 5" hook & loop discs. And I've used 600 and 1000 grit wet/dry paper for sharpening.

    I'm stocking up this time and it looks like Online Industrial Supply has some good prices for packs of 100 sheets and packs of 50 discs. (Any other vendors out there that I should be looking at?) I've been storing sheets in a small hanging file bin, but that might have to change if I stock up.

    So what types of paper do you all prefer? What grits do you use? Do you skip? Where do you all buy your sanding supplies? How do you store it? Do you use it for sharpening?
