Try making sanding blocks that are reusable on your own. Create six blocks of the same size from some plywood. Your blocks should be 2.5 x 4.75. Put spray glue on a cork tile and each block. Stick a block on the cork and cut it flush with a knife. Get a sandpaper sheet, spray it with adhesive, and then apply it to each of your cork blocks; they need to be face down. Cut the sandpaper flush and label the block.
