I hesitated to mention that I love this stuff.


It lasts forever and doesn't clog at all.  You can roll and even fold it without damaging it so it is great for any hand sanding, especially in hard to reach or odd shape pieces.   I initially tried it because a free sample came in another pack of 3M paper.  It is particularly good for sanding on the lathe but I also use it when shaping plane totes and nobs.  The reason I hesitated mentioning how great it is is because they have apparently discontinued it and I do not want you guys to buy up the remaining supply -- at least without letting me know if you find someone selling fine grits.  ;-)  You can still find the odd pack of it on Amazon or eBay but it has gotten really expensive and only in the coarser grits.  A couple of years ago I bought as many packages of it I could find on eBay at the time.  Only a few packs of 150 grit left so I tend to hoard it now.  Good thing it lasts so long.
