Coop, I believe infinity tools has replacement rolls, but agree an automotive place would probably be best.

I ordered some new planer blades from Infinity last night and saw the paper you speak of. It’s the same stuff sold by Deulen, but thanks.

I don't know exactly what you are looking for, but other than wet-or-dry sandpaper, I keep some of this stuff around too.   http://www.leevalley.com/us/Wood/page.aspx?p=74729&cat=1,43072

The backing is much tougher than regular paper backing, and comes in much finer grits.   I use it for anything from jointer knives, to small strips for polishing hydraulic rams that start to get rust spots.

For sandpaper sharpening on a flat surface, I like a granite surface plate (on sale a couple of times a year from Woodcraft) because just a splash of water will hold the paper in place due to the ever so slight texture on the plate, so you don't have to bother to glue it to anything.  I just rinse the paper off when done, and let it lay on the sink to dry until next time.  You can use multiple grits, and just rinse, and change each sheet.

I use it under running water when possible.  Lee Valley says oil does better than water, but it works fine with water.
