YEP I tried to pilfer the entire thing, Forum soft ware upchucked, and I attempted to fix(not with very admirable results)
Here's the bottom from a screen save.

I really like that they actually explained WHY they are different and better than everything else, rather than just say they are the best and expect us to take it at face value because of a logo.
So point #1, better backing to hold together better, point #2 more durable abrasive materials. Does anyone know how they compare on filling up/clogging? Normally not a huge issue for me but wood doesn't wet sand very well.

I have used their orbital sander sheets for about a year now. Worked well on building an oak island in the kitchen and on an oak headboard. A little pricy, but used fewer sheets, wood finished up very well for staining. I would use again and they are carried at Lowe's.

I have used the ceramic 80 git on my belt sander for some heavy duty flattening and wood removal; Redwood, cedar, pine and cottonwood. Cleaned it several times and still going tough. There were times them I would really bare down to get some stubborn parts expecting the wood to heat up but not so.
Film is a little pricey so starting with a small hand sander, about 1x4" . Still on my first strip and works great. Works a whole lot better than that made in china stuff which falls apart on the first pass. Last time I get sandpaper out of the 'bargain bin'.
