come on, man
Don’t waste eucalyptus leaves like that
get a bidet
dudebro, I’m in a no bidet, “if it’s brown let it mellow” drought state & according to my post (?) I’m saving water, utilizing nonnative trees and employing chlamydia laden azz wipers:jamon:

The 32grit shortage is due to shortages of 800/600/400…/100/80 grit, azz wiping, sticks dwelling dum dums who stocked up on sandpaper alternatives during the Great TP shortage 2021/22. May their 32 grit cornholes chafe further into the 20 and 10 grit realm.

Sounds like you're suffering from a bad case of chapped cheeks.

This was the application in question. I had to use 60 grit which was the coarsest grit available at the big box stores (including Harbor Freight and Ace). It kind of sucked. Took twice as long. This tool (with 36 grit) puts a perfect flat bottom on a board with ease. Even when I'm doing contoured bottoms I always start with a perfectly flat bottom. Nothing else will do the trick like this thing. I learned it at the boatbuilder I worked for. One of the jobs given to the shop noobs was to flatblock sand hull moulds. Imagine sanding a 70 foot hull with one of these. It's like sanding a surfboard with a sanding block the size of a Lego. It took a week or more for a four or five man crew to sand a hull fair. And you had to do it three times. Once on the mould, once on the foam core of the hull, and one more time on the finished laminated hull. I've done a lot of sanding in my life....

A sheet of 36 used to cost a buck or so. If you buy online you end up paying more for shipping than for the product. I only needed two firkin sheets. Since I'm sanding foam they would last 5 years.

OK. Rant *officially* over.

wait wait wait wait

2 sheets, $18 bucks, 5 years.

5 years

Let's do some math :p


$18 for 5 years.
5y = 5x 365 = 1825 days (leap year can fk itself)
total $/time = cost per day
18/1825 = less than 1 penny per day ($0.00986301...)

1 penny
