Norton Gold Reserve sticky-back sandpaper comes in 2-3/4 in by 25 yd rolls, in 80, 180 or 320 grit.
This is the exact sandpaper we selected for the Shelter Sharpening Kit. Stick it to float glass and sharpen chisels and plane irons on it. The abrasive is P-graded aluminum oxide on a B-weight paper backing, with a non-loading stearate coating that keeps it from clogging. The pressure-sensitive adhesive goes on and peels off easily.
Use 80 grit to reshape a bevel or take out a nick, 180 for general sharpening, and 320 for the fine edge before you strop.
Norton grew out of a pottery shop Franklin Norton opened in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1858. The Norton Company was founded there in 1885, and Saint-Gobain of France bought it in 1990. Norton Abrasives is still based in Worcester.
