Steve - I never use anything but a good wet 'n' dry paper and used wet. The adhesive stuff is, IMO, a pain for anything but a D-A or grinder. Once the block is wet, it wont stick anyhow.

Paper - 80 to 2500, Norton or Mirka, then if they aren't easily available, the overpriced and , IMO, lesser quality, 3m.

These are just some of my blocks. My favorites are some I made up from some 1/2" closed cell neoprene foam I had left over. I glued 2-3 pieces together just for some additional thickness - there are some single thicknesses shown in the photo, RHS plus some different diameters of rubber tubing. Then wood blocks - oak or maple
