A:  I bought one several years ago and found that you have to buy the 3M sandpaper sheets to use it; regular sandpaper sheets are too short.

A:  You will need to cut the paper to fit. Mike

A:  Yes, cut to fit. One would think the industry would sell the correct size.

A:  You cut to fit. I used this with 3M 4-3/16 in. x 11-1/4 in. 120 Grit Medium Drywall Sanding Screens (2-Pack)

A:  They sold the size that fits right next to the sander in store. Realize this doesn't help you for online shopping. You could also cut out larger paper to fit if it is not brittle when it bends.

A:  Hello! We would recommend the use of 3M Sanding Screens such as, Model # 9090P-CC or Model # 9089NA-CC. If you have any additional questions or concerns please connect with our team directly at 1-800-494-3552 M-F 8am-5pm CT.

A:  Absolutely. This product can be used to remove old adhesive from your wall. Thanks for asking!

A:  Yes, this product can be used to sand down very old hard dried on glue from drywall

A:  I would think a razor blade scraper would be better but a medium to coarse paper on this device might work if the glue area is large.

A:  Yes, as long as you get the correct grid of sand paper

A:  Unless your deck is very smooth, I would say this is not the device for that work.

A:  Yes, you can use it for wood when the proper sandpaper is used for your application. We just market this product for drywall sanding but it can be used for almost any job where a hand sander is needed. Thanks for asking!

A:  It's possible, but it will take a lot of your time. I suggest electric sander. But even with 4x4 you will spend considerable time. It's probably cheaper to rent big sander and be done in 1=2 hours, rather than spend days with hand sander and small electric sander. I needed to send wood garage door mouldings. I used 4x4 palm electric sander and it took me >45 minutes and multiple pads to remove all paint flakes and smooth the surface.

A:  Put 1 end of the paper into the clamp at one end and then insert the other end of the paper into the clamp at the other end. You might want to adjust how much is under each clamp after the paper is installed to get it even. Also bending the paper firmly around the end is helpful in getting the paper snug for flat sanded results.

A:  Thank you for asking! On each end where you see the wing nut you simply loosen the nut, insert the paper, and tighten the nut. The black portion is a rubber stopper which will hold the paper in place. Thanks again!

A:  You need to unscrew 2 butterfly nuts, lift lock shoes, wrap 3-2/3x11 sand paper sheet (3-2/3x9 is too short to fit) around pad and snug it under shoes, tighten butterfly nuts.
