This is a screaming bargain. When I built my wings I bought floor sanding sheets that are something like 12"x18" and cut them into strips, glued them to an aluminum I-beam, and used that...but the joints between strips kept coming loose, which made it a bit painful. 3" continuous strips would be just the ticket. Of course 50 yards is way too much for one plane and the associated shipping is burdensome, so somebody ought to buy the 24 or 36 grit rolls and resell them as 5 yard rolls to make them (and shipping) more affordable to KR builders. I have samples of this stuff and the adhesive on the back of what I have is plenty good to stick to a piece of aluminum angle. -- Mark Langford ML at N56ML.com http://www.n56ml.com
