Consider making your own sanding blocks that can be used again and again. Start by cutting six blocks from scrap 3/4" plywood for every sandpaper grit you generally use. They should be 2.5" by 4.75". Apply spray adhesive to both the blocks and the cork tiles. Start by sticking a block to the cork before cutting the cork with a utility knife. Put adhesive on a sheet of sandpaper and apply it on each block of cork. Lastly, put the sandpaper flush to the cork, labeling all blocks.
