Has anyone tried to stick the purple 3M sandpaper to a board? I was using normal paper and wood glue before, but the 3M has a "non-slip" plasticised backing that doesn't bond to wood very well. I've heard that spray mount is good but, it's not cheap. Ideally I'd like to be able to remove the paper once knackered and reuse the board for the same again.
Any thoughts?
 
Try the superglue and masking tape method. Put masking tape on both items to be stuck (the paper and the board in this case) then glue them together with superglue and activator (mitre mate etc.) when finished they can be peeled off. This creates a remarkably strong fixture but will still peel off.
Actually in your case you probably only need put the masking tape on the board side.
