I have used these rubber blocks since somewhere around 2002. I put 3 or 4 layers on each block to avoid interruptions when the abrasive starts to give out.
Somewhere along the way I started cutting the used paper off and saving the unused ends.
When you do this you end up with a near endless supply of little scraps.
My blocks and the scraps live in this little fixture I made that mounts to pegboard.
My main use of them is with those little shaped rubber profile blocks.
I use them to ease edges.
They come in handy for other random tasks but use with the contour sanding blocks has become the norm.
So . . . is it effective utilization of shop supplies or am I just a cheapskate at heart?
