sharp edges don’t cut through the sandpaper. Figure 1 shows how to
tear a sheet of sandpaper into sections that will fit your sanding block.
First fold the sandpaper into thirds as shown.

After you’ve torn the sandpaper into thirds, take one piece and fold it

down the center crease where the side with the grit is exposed (see figure

2). Now just fold the edges up around the side of your block.
