I know that the Hermes is supposed to be better, but I really like this stuff. I like just knowing the colour order for the sandpaper grades and just grabbing them.

Coded sandpaper
What I do with my sandpaper is line the back with a permanent marker pen 1 line for coursest grade 2 for next and so on.

ta. reakon that vineer place is the cheapest.
but I wonder about the hermes stuff. If it actually lasts longer than the colour coded. if it goes longer for your buck, cause I don't mind running lines along the back like Fred says.

Hermes works well to avoid clogging; the firm backing helps when you need to shape it to get into nooks and crannies but it's flexible enough to wrap around dowels etc for sanding inside pencil jars etc.

I have always used Hermes and decided to try the Colour coded.
They both work well for normal sanding however I think the Hermes lasts longer but the biggest thing is that if you are sanding spindles and need to fold the "paper" to sand the fine details the colour coded tends to break away from the fold leaving no abrasive.

I can't speak for the colour-coded paper, but the ordinary Hermes is the best paper I've come across - in several countries.
The Sandpaper Man stocks Hermes Flex Cloth aluminium oxide abrasives, which is excellent for lathe work, but IIRC, he doesn't stock flat paper sheets of AO abrasives..
I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

Here is a little chart i did on the sites mentioned above.
No preference to any supplier. - prices off their website. I have brought all prices to 1 x 100 to get a comparison but buying in longer lengths does change the price by some suppliers
