Get More Mileage Out of Your Sandpaper With This Hack

I use so much sandpaper it's crazy. Generally when I'm prepping my edges I go through 220, 320, 400, 600, 800 grits. If I'm going for a glass edge, I go further into sandpaper grits, using 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000, 3200, 3400, 4000, 6000, 8000, 10000, 12000.

If you want a tutorial on how to get the glass edge, check out my video on it here:    • How to Burnish Glass Edges on Leather  

Anyway, I buy packs of sandpaper from Amazon. It's the cheapest place to get them. I fold the different grits into squares and just binder clip them together in order. You definitely don't need to use the gum sole every time, but once your sandpaper gets bunged up, a quick rub on the gum takes those leather bits right out. It makes it almost as good as new.

Again, I can't quite remember who told me about this hack, but I think it was ‪@bbrachman‬. Thank you!

My name is Tim. Thanks for checking out my YouTube channel. I started leather working in July of 2020. My passion for leather work quickly grew as I learned and practiced. I received a ton of help from the leather working community when I was new and now I aim to pass on what I learn to other beginner leather workers. I post weekly leather craft videos that include tutorials, free pdf pattern templates, how to's, tips and tricks, and any other leather work content that I think could help you out!
