Yellow rolls of sandpaper? - Jack in omaha - 05-06-2020

I was watching Paul Sellers on you tube clean a plane. He made extensive use of a yellow sandpaper.
What is it? What is the grit? Mostly it looks like 120 grit and what is the  the source besides ebay from china?

Klingspor sells yellow sandpaper.  I used to buy cutoffs from their retail store in NC, still have some after 17 years or so.  They also sell bargain boxes:  https://www.woodworkingshop.com/category.aspx?id=61

Mirka sandpaper sandpaper is yellow, too.  It’s really good stuff.

Oh, yeah, forgot about Mirka; from Finland; I've got a bunch of that stuff too.

I saw some at Costco a few weeks ago, but it was with the toilet paper.

I don't know what Paul Sellers uses but I use this 3M product.

Can't help on the question, but every time I see the title, "Yellow Rose of Texas" starts going through my head.

You can post a question to Sellers' blog and he'll probably answer. I doubt it's Mirka. Sellers is a pretty frugal guy and Mirka is on the pricey side of sandpaper.
