Are the sanding disc reusable or a one time use?

Sanding discs are cheap. I never use than more than once....it is a waste of time and effort.

Does anyone have an independant supplier that they purchase thier sanding discs from?
I have to buy from my kit supplier right now as I can't find the discs locally.

ditto

Sometimes I may have one lens that may require an additional 320 or 600. I may only have one spot that I dont like and the pad still looks good afterward. I save that pad should the problem arise again in the future. Other than that I use new pads each vehicle. They are correct when they say it takes longer if you use a pad that has pleantty of wear. I rather spend the money for a better finished product, and quicker finish. I also use a quality tape that sticks and peels off easy. There is a vender in my state that I could purchase the disc cheaper and get the product faster. Its not that much of a savings, and I rather do all my supplies at one stop. I have a bond with my supplier, and they know what I need and I can depend on them to expedite my order. I get good advice and guidance and if they notice something out of the norm, I get a phone call or email asap. I call that loyalty and Trust of the people that keep my business fine tuned to new products and services. You might call them Delta Kits, while I prefer to lable tham as an asset and friend.

WHat price can be expected ot pay for discs, and are they packaged typically by the dozen or 10's, etc?

Sorry, old post, but maybe someone has some insight.

I get my sanding discs from a large paint store. I use Shermin-Williams and buy the 3M brand of "hook and loop" discs.
I think mine are 3inches. They come in boxes of 50 and cost about $30.00 here (Louisiana).
They may be cheaper other places.
But it also depends on what type of sander / buffer setup you use.
I hope this helps you. If not you can email me and I will see if I can answer better.
