Anyone know of a place online where I can get 3M sandblaster automotive sandpaper in bulk at a good price? Buying it local in packs of 3 is getting expensive. I have tried several searches and keep coming up with dry.

It's not online but I got my bulk pack at Lowe's...they did not have all grits only 2 or 3 different ones. I paid around $13-$14 for their bulk pack...around 25 sheets.

3M has been trying out an online store for some of their products, and they have a lot of abrasives in there:

I will have to check Lowe's to see what they have. I tried the 3M estore and couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I am sure they have the right sanding sheets but I am not sure what I might need. I am looking for sanding sheets in 60, 120 and 180 grit for sanding bondo. I want something that cuts fast, last long and doesn't clog easy. Got any suggestions on what that would be?
The sandblaster paper I have been using fits the bill that is why I was trying to get it in bulk so I could save some money.

I recently posted an idea about sharing or spilting up bulk sandpapaer in the Tools Forum.

I have looked at Ebay and prices there are no better than anywhere else, but shipping seems high.

A couple places on the web are autobodytoolmart.com and autobodystore.com

I have found the prices cheaper on e-bay, but, by the time you pay shipping the price is as high as my local supplier. :hammering:

Once in a while you will find a good buy there.

Menard's is another good place to go for sandblaster paper.

Talk with your local cabinet shop, furnature factory or mill. They run large belts that they change out after a short run time. I had a neighbor that gave me a several year supply.

Have you tried body files maybe like these
http://s154.photobucket.com/albums/s260/cfgilliam/Body%20Files/ They can take off the excess bondo or lead. Then you can sand smooth.
