I've been on the lookout for long sandpaper strips to replace the old paper on the rails rather than piecing in strips cut from sheets. While perusing the new Klingspor catalogue I came across these few items. Rather than inserting the page link for each item (which takes up three lines each) I'll give the product number for a search at their site. http://www.woodworkingshop.com This one is a Heavyweight paper which is self adhesive, the roll only come in 4 1/2" width. (320 grit selected) # AR20270 This is a lighter weight paper measuring 2", 320 grit. It is the same as the sheets which I've been piecing and lightly gluing onto the rails. # SR00886 This is a cloth backed abrasive, 3", 320 grit which might be good for Tubular Action Rails. I've been piecing in Fine grit Emery Cloth (150 grit) from sheets. (A double-sided adhesive tape is applied to the rail first). # SR98760 All rolls are 10 yards long. Other grits/widths are available. Lots of other nifty items as well. Those doing lathe work, check out this tool: # SZ00036 Regards, Jon Page, piano technician Harwich Port, Cape Cod, Mass. mailto:jonpage@attbi.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
