I put it over the back edge of my metal straightedge, but I usually
crease it first too.

Ours would rip your head off for calling it "sandpaper" rather than
glasspaper. Not that much of it is made out of glass either, but you
know what traditionalists are like...
I rip mine, but I always fold and crease it first. I never have a
problem with tears.

The purpose built Curragh military detention barracks which was built in
1863, was known as the "glasshouse" because it had a distinctive glass roof.
Now, all military and some civilian prisons are known as the
"glasshouse"....
Something like than anyway.....

Ain't English wonderful?

Yeah, but stick around the Internet for a while and you'll
read the strangest things. I never process what someone
writes through my own life experience filters. And don't
get me started about the butchering of the English language
that passes these days! ;-)

Taths pttery cool, but I wneodr if it's ctlmoepey ture if snomoee geos to
ermtxees to srcew tgihns up?
I'd say there's rather more to it than just the first and last letters, like
keeping certain dipthongs together and such, but I *can* read that
jibberish you spouted above.

The grit layer separates from the paper easier that way, too. I score with
a knife and snap.

My experience - ripped sandpaper tears more easily during sanding than
cut sandpaper. All those wavy edge bits mess up and start a tear. YMMV

The latter must have been too weird for me to consider as a possibility!
