Consider making your own sanding blocks that are reusable. Create six blocks of the same size from some plywood. Be sure that the measurements are around two-and-a-half inches by four-and-three-quarters inches. Apply spray adhesive to each of the tile squares and the blocks themselves. Stick a block to the cork, making sure to cut the cork flush with a utility knife. Put adhesive on the sandpaper sheet and then apply it to the cork blocks face down. Finally you can cut the sandpaper so it’s flush with the cork and then you can label each block.
If you are going to be staining your project, test on a scrap of wood or an inconspicuous area. This will help you avoid any surprises if the stain color looks different after it has been applied. It is important to avoid mistakes to save time and money.
