I have used regular aluminum oxide sandpaper but it does load up pretty quickly. I have also used the sanding mesh for drywall and seem to prefer that over regular sand paper. If I recall correctly many used a strip of old jeans to put the final buff on eva. Hopefully Billy will see this as he does a BUNCH of awesome work with EVA.

Not sure if Billy is up and running again but I bought my sandpaper from him. He sells what you need in various grits already stripped out.
