spray adhesive is what i use, after the paper is worn out a heat gun will soften the glue to remove it. |

Spray adhesive, like 3M 77 I would say |

I use contact cement as it’s pretty cheap and holds well.

I just spray the glass with windex and lay the paper right on the wet spot and spray sandpaper some more…. I feel like the sandpaper wears out so fast I’d rather not deal with spray adhesive… The sandpaper will move around a little bit, but it doesn’t bother me, plus its quick and easy cleanup. |

Thanks all. Is it best to set up 3 or 4 grits on the same glass? |

I’ve got several grits on a piece of granite countertop 220 up 2000. I find it very convenient moving from one to the other to get that final edge. I’ve got other pieces of granite with different grits that I use for flattening the back of plane irons and chisel. |

I am a big fan of the granite slab as opposed to glass as well. I used spray adhesive when I used to sharpen this way, or I would find self adhesive sandpaper rolls (even better). For silicon carbide water creates a good “stick” as well. -- Make furniture that lasts as long as the tree - Ryan |

I like to use near full size sheets, so I have 3 pieces of glass with paper on both sides. I keep meaning to try the water trick, thinking I could just switch the paper but haven’t gotten around to doing so. I use spray adhesive at the moment. -- Our village hasn't lost it's idiot, he was elected to congress. |

Glass or granite makes no difference to me. I use a light oil as a sharpening lube, you could use water, and let it soak the wet/dry paper. It will stay in place well enough. I prefer oil so I don’t have to deal with as much rusting. |

Good old spritz of water is all you need. Wet the paper and it will stick just fine. -- Sooner or later Liberals run out of other people's money. |
