Hey everyone, Im looking to buy Squadron coarse sanding sticks in bulk since its my most used stick for rough out. Ive seen the medium in a 50 pack, but my searches have come up empty for the coarse version.  The part number on it is 30501  Thanks

Sorry, I can’t help with a source for the Squadrons. But why not make your own? It is likely cheaper, and you can have any grit you like and any type of paper. I like to leave the paper hanging over the edge a bit on one side. That way one side of the stick can sand up close to a sharp corner, and the other edge  can do a slight radius.

I would also recommend places like Walmart, Amazon, or online beauty supplies. I found some at Walmart, 3/16"x 3/4"x 6" long, a few different grits, stiff, but cushioned core, with the nail files.

There is no reason to pay those prices for quality sanding boards/sticks. Buy Tropical Shine boards on Ebay.  Black are coarse, blue, medium and pink, fine. They also make a 4-way polishing stick. They are washable and very durable, and at a much lower price!

I think I recently bought 15 mediums for $12. I started using them about five years ago. They're all I buy, anymore!
