Re: Is an all cork sanding block OK?

All cork better than the others. Nix the rubber. Must be Hard! Try talking dirty to it.
4X2X1 is fine if you must buy something off the shelf:-)
Real DIY'ers take a 4" long piece of 2x4, chamfer (angle) what will become the top sides to make it more comfortable to hold, and glue an 1/8" thick piece of cork to the bottom. Get the cork at the artsy-craftsy store, along with Japan colors, artists colors, gilding, cool spray paint you won't see at Home Depot, latches, catches and artsy-craftsy females that might understand a guy who shops there.

The 4X2X1 size almost exactly fits the 9X11 sandpapers. You fold the sheet in half, good side to good side like closing a book, make a tight crease and then tear it on the edge of your bench. It will tear clean. Now do the same for the halves and you will have 4 pieces that fit right around the block so you can get a grip on them.
