Are there any good online places to get the high grit wet/dry sandpaper we need to be able to lap cpus/HS?

Anything would be helpful, it'd be nice to get an asst. of 800,1000,1200,1500,2000.

Thanks,

Mark

Try autoparts store. They have all these stuff since they're a necessary supplies for working on car paints.

S13SilviaK, Jerboy is correct you can find all you need at your local autoparts store. From past experience, I would stay away from "hobby" shops because you tend to pay more for smaller quantites than you would find at say your local Pep Boys or whatever autoparts store is close to your home. Hope this helps :)

I read in a thread a few weeks ago that Pep Boys in particular has some hi-grit wet/dry sandpaper. I stopped by my local Pep Boys last week and took a gander. Sure enough, they had several brands of 1000-2000 grit paper. So, if you have one nearby, you might check it out...

I got mine at an Ace hardware store. They had up to 1500.
