HAND SANDING: how to use sandpaper correctly (by folding it differently)

I can see how this would make the sandpaper last longer as well. When I fold it in half, the paper tends to rip along the crease. Will definitely be trying this next time

I’ll give this a shot. Several years ago someone showed me how to fold quarter sheet of paper into 4ths so it could be gripped easily and not have grit against grit shortening the life of the paper. I like the size of this method better for some situations. Thanks Todd!

Great tip👏🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
