Just a thumbs up/heads up for this stuff.
My friend Fitzo turned me onto the stuff in the tube. I ordered it from Tracy and have been using it for a couple months now. It is AWESOME.

I squeeze a little on my 9" disc, spread it out, and I can apply a disc, use it, peel it off WITHOUT the paper sticking to anything, and then apply a different disc. The only thing that messes it up is putting a PSA disc over it, as it will pull the PSA off the sandpaper, lol.
With all the other sprays like the 3M 77 and what not, the discs are a bear to get off... they usually get torn up while removing them, and when you do get them off, they stick to everything (including the side of my garbage can!).
I read Karl Andersen uses the spray and gets it at Fastenal, but I tried our local stores and they couldn't even come up with an SKU to order it for me. As it turns out, I like the tube as I don't have to worry about over-spray.
So if you use a disc sander/grinder, do yourself a favor and try this stuff! 2thumbs
