[0026]An Exemplary Method for Creating a Loop of Sandpaper

[0027]By way of further example, and without limiting the scope of the invention, in some embodiments of the method, a generally rectangular strip of sandpaper is obtained. The type of sandpaper can vary in both size and coarseness, and should be determined by the user for the particular purpose or project at hand. The length of the strip should preferably be sufficient to create a loop that will comfortably slide down the user's arm. Upon obtaining the appropriate rectangular strip of sandpaper, the user creat...

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention include methods of use of a clip or other securing device to create a loop of sandpaper that can be slid down a user's arm or wrist when not in use. The apparatus is a clip, adhesive, or other device that is used to maintain a strip of sandpaper in a loop. The loop of sandpaper is held with the abrasive side outward, and is used to sand an object.
After the object is sanded, the user moves the loop of sandpaper to a position around the user's arm, freeing the user to perform a different task. When the sandpaper strip is needed again, the user moves the sandpaper up the user's arm and again places the loop of sandpaper in the user's hand, to sand an object, where the object can be a different object or the same object previously sanded. This process can continue many times until the user no longer needs to use the sandpaper.
