I've been buying my sandpaper from Online Industrial Supply Co (it's
MUCH cheaper when you don't buy from the hardware store). They have
silicon carbide paper in microgrits down to P3000. That may seem a
bit ridiculous given that most people on the list seem to use P320-
P800, but I find the P3000 to be really nice for making a final finish
without having to worry about removing too much material.
