How to keep sand paper from loading up.
While sanding a bowl last night I was watching the sandpaper travel around the bowl and work it way back into the paper thus causing the paper to load up and causing me to use a lot of paper so I was thinking...hmmm must be a way to get that stuff out of there. Well I took an old paint brush and clamped it to my tools post and guess what, it works.

One thing to look out for is if the paper starts to load up it's time to take the brush off and clean it out DAMHIKT..
