Abstract
The present invention relates to an inexpensive, lightweight, effective, manually operated wet/dry sanding block having the capability to operate in the dry mode or the wet mode equally well. A hole through the center of the block allows fluid to be delivered to the bottom surface of the block during operation. Grooves on the bottom surface of the block allow the water to be evenly distributed to both sides of the block during operation. The design of the block is such that no nails, spikes, grooves or fasteners of any kind are needed to hold the abrasive paper in place. One edge of the block is designed to have a small radius of curvature allowing access to narrow spaces, such as door jambs.
