Video says you should get 75 to 100 square feet per sheet however the adhesive seems to be engineered to wear out before that point. Double-sided carpet tape fixes the problem so you'll get your money's worth out of the sandpaper.

Excellent product for deck orbital sanders, much better quality than the rental center paper. We rented an orbital deck sander to sand our old wooden deck. We ordered this Diablo paper ahead of time and we're very glad we did. The orbital sander came with a white pad to act as a cushion between the sander head and the paper. The Diablo sandpaper adhesive is slightly sticky, enough to stick the the white pad, but not so strong that it would damage the pad when removed.
The expensive paper sold to use by the rental center had a backing of paper with thin grit. The rental center paper easily tore going across the deck. The Diablo "paper" backing is made of much stronger cloth and holds up at least four times better than paper. We used one sheet of 36 grit Diablo paper to remove the old paint and deep scratches in our 16x16 foot deck. The Diablo paper still had grit remaining for more work. We switched to 60 grit of the paper from the rental center and used four sheets for finish sanding. The rental center sand paper tore and folder over often.
We highly recommend ordering Diablo paper when using a deck sander. You can save money and also order the white cushion pad. If you have sheets left over, they can be cut or torn into smaller pieces for other projects.

Tough stuff. holds it's stick. Great for floor machines and custom cut to fit those sanders you just can't find paper for.

You have to watch the pad being used but, overall good.

I had good results with 60 grit sandpaper. The use of the, "sticky" back was good. You have to pay attention to it to make sure it stays in place. I think it has more to do with the pad being used. I would use it again if needed. It does save a lot of time over a large area.

The glue that holds the paper to the backing pad is no good. Very poor product

Worked as expected. 20 grit worked extremely well with square sander refinishing hardwood floors.

Doesn’t stick at all
Went through 10 sheets in one room before simply returning the whole rental. The sandpaper couldnt wear out because it wouldnt stick long enough to use. Waste of money.

Works as expected, but clogs and needs cleaning when in use.

As always with Diablo, outstanding. Cut through 100 years worth of shellac on oak flooring and did not miss a beat.
