« on: December 30, 2006, 09:42:34 AM »
Found a good price on abralon pads at http://www.woodworkersshop.com/Abralon_Sanding_System.htm

5 6" pads-360, 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 grit for 19.95, That's the cheapest I've seen them.

  Yeah, everyone likes to build a profit margin in shipping these days. If you cant find any at your local parts store, there HAS to be a paint and supply store to cover your body shops. We have 5 parts stores and one paint and supply store in town. I can get Mirka abrasives at 3 of them. Everyone seems to think Abralon is something new in the bowling world when in reality it has been used for surfacing auto paints and woodworking for a number of years. We even have a Sherwin williams store that carries it. Unless you have a one horse town i'm sure you can find it without being raped on shipping. Mirka is one of the biggest names in automotive surface prep.

On edit: THIS  is even better than those other places listed.
 



Funny thing is, my brother-in-law does auto body repair.  When I asked if he could get me some abralon, he had no idea what I was talking about!

In his defense, he is the metal and body guy, he doesn't touch any paint!  And, they were a pretty busy shop. I think he recently went independent and opened his own shop - I'm going to have to give him a call and see if he can get some.
