Protect Yourself From Sandpaper

Whether you're a professional or just a DIYer who likes to take on larger projects, it's always a good idea to protect yourself when sanding. This is especially true the grittier the sandpaper and the larger the sander. To do so, just wrap your fingers in duct tape wherever you suspect there's a possibility of coming in contact with sandpaper. The duct tape should be strong enough to take any abuse from sandpaper.

It'll also keep your fingers from getting scratched up or suffering any severe injuries if a sander you're working with or your hands happen to slip while you're sanding.
