Glue for sandpaper

[Michael Nathal]

I sold my Delta disk sander to create some space in my shop. So I made a 14 inch plywood disk with a threaded coupling for the spindle on my lathe, and faced it with Formica. I have a huge roll of cloth- backed SIA sandpaper that I would love to use instead of the PSA sandpaper disks that you can buy. Any ideas on what kind of glue would hold the paper onto the formica, yet still release without too much difficulty?

Same set up, I use https://images.thdstatic.com/produc...5b3de/svn/3m-spray-adhesive-77-dsc-64_300.jpg and it works ok. Sometime needs touched up on edges. For that I use contact cement ONLY IN SMALL SPOTS.
The old paper is easily removed and refresh with new paper and spray. I will some time spray both the formica and the sandpaper.

I go with contact cement if I don't want to remove/replace the sandpaper, and rubber cement if I do

I use 3M spray glue.

I use the 77 on paper backed disks. Don't love it but it does work.

On cloth backed, couldn't you use hook n loop material. Or will it get too hot and just melt? I know you can buy it on wide tape rolls with self adhesive back. I use hook n loop on some 3x4 thin rubber sanding pads I have. Works great.

The "paper" is cloth backed but not hook and loop.
To the other responders, thanks for your ideas.

I’ve used both 77 and 3M, and each works well.
