Today I used these for the second time and found that the end that grips the paper was too wide and would hit an adjacent hammer. I trimmed them a bit and they work great! On the first three, I used the non-abrasive backside of the strip to 'polish' the surface. I was able to dress the entire set in a fraction of the time.

The strip is used in dressing hammer surfaces. Either side to the crown and then across the top, shoe-shining; so to speak.

A holder was made from 1.25" player hose. It's length is enough to enclose the strips which are held between the handles.

My fingers became tired and cramped while trying to shoe-shine hammers with strips of Jurgen's high quality sandpaper. I made handles to grip the strip and now I have something to hold on to with ease. Notice the notch cut into the paper ends to slide into the handles and the folded remnant to aid in the grip.
