Dusty, seeing the 0devious comments makes me wonder if you could re-activate the adhesive with heat. Inquiring minds want to know.dusty wrote:I have just the opposite problem.
Shopsmith offered a real good sale on sand paper (disks and belts) a long while back. Being frugal as I am, I bought up a bunch which has now turned out to have not been frugal at all. I have a shelf full of adhesive backed sanding disks with adhesive that is no longer sticky.
I am too frugal to discard it so I cut it in pieces and use it for hand sanding.

I have not tried heat. I will. I have used rubber cement will a certain degree of success.dvsmith86 wrote:Dusty, seeing the 0devious comments makes me wonder if you could re-activate the adhesive with heat. Inquiring minds want to know.dusty wrote:I have just the opposite problem.

I really need to find something that works well. I have too much invested in sand paper to cut it up like I have been.

Re: Removing Sand Paper from Disc Sander
Have you tried Spray Trim Adhesive from an Auto Parts House? It's the stuff they use to attach headliners to cars. I use it a lot. Not only in the shop, but in the house to repair wallpaper, or a flopping corner of carpet on the stairway. Most of my sandpaper is also very old. My father-in-law had a stack of it when I got his old Greenie. That was 15 years ago and the pile still fills a butter cookie tin.dusty wrote:I have just the opposite problem.

I don't even try to trust the adhesive on the paper. I spray the disc every time.

How about spray adhesive. 3M is one brand. It is available in the big box stores. It comes in repositionable and permanent. My wife uses the repositionable to stick her scroll saw patterns to the stock.dusty wrote:I have not tried heat. I will.

Re: Removing Sand Paper from Disc Sander
I warm the disk with a torch, with a paddle remove the used disk, spray the adhesive with WD-40, remove the adhesive, clean with acetone or spray electrical cleaner, remount a new disk and .... whalah!! I’m on my way!
Re: Removing Sand Paper from Disc Sander
Ran across this video the other day. I have thought about trying it on the shopsmith Disc.
