Default Sanding Sleeves

Does anyone have a source of 1/2 x 1/2 60 grit sanding sleeves, in BULK? I am tired of the small bags with 4 to 6 sleeves. Looking for bags with a larger number of sleeves.

Thanks

Tom H

I saw a big bag of small sleeves at Sears with the sanding discs and other misc finishing gear, not sure what size and grit they were, but there were ab lot of them in the bag.

Tom... I seem to remember the Tool Shed at the Sweetwater Fleamarket, in Sweetwater, Tennessee, selling them in bulk. I realize that doesn't help you much but have you checked out any Fleamarkets in your area?

I Googled "sanding bands in bulk and came up with several dealers offering 1/2x1/2 bands in quantities of 25 & 50. Didn't look any further, but there were 81,000+ hits.

Thanks guys. Slipped into town and bought a bag of sleeves at Sears, as per Slowmover. Will order a special large bag from the site Claude put up. And while at the local flea market this AM checked out several fellows selling abrasives, as Eddy suggested. No 1/2" sleeves at the flea market tho. Didn't need to check out google as Denny suggested - but will the next time.
