... but I ordered a wide range of silicon carbide sandpaper from maker material supply and didn't consider that it would come as a stack of loose sheets. In the name of work flow, how do yall store/set up your bulk sand paper?
Thank you,
I'll hang up and listen.

So I like to keep it in paper bags as it keeps it fresher.
One thing I will mention is if you cut it into squares always write what it is with a Sharpie on the back. As only a few will have the grit number on it
Don't ask me how many little squares I have of un-used squares that I don't know what grit they are..
I have moved to cloth backed roll for most uses now.

I can't tell you how any times I've had to make judgment calls guessing what squares were what haha

The above roll dispenser is cloth backed and great for shoeshine type sanding and they are
6 meter lengths. 20ft for you guys in the US.
They have all the step ups sorted to 600 grit. I just fold over the last grit I use so I know what I used last
The box is only $19.80 AUD so like less than $15US

YES. Discovered that pretty quickly, not the first project, but definitely the second one

Please excuse the mess...I keep my sheets in drawer on my sanding and shaping table. Since using these blue backed sheets, I take and cut them into 3rds then take a silver sharpie and write out the grits. Silver shows up really well on this blue(blue painters tape too!).

There are products like this sandpaper organizer available
https://www.woodcraft.com/products/wood ... -woodriver if it's not a huge amount, or go to an office supply and look for paper trays.
