i just use whatever grit i can find but i noticed that 100-300 grit ive liked the best but nothing over 600 grit i would recommend because that's a little to fine to do this.
tire bands are a great investment i for sure like em better then holding my tires or using tape like i used too
these are cheap and you get 8 of them

Wow $5 for 8 giant rubber bands? pay a little more and get actual tire mounting bands with the tabs on them. VP pro and Panther make them and mine have lasted 6 years so far. Just like everything else in this hobby you can buy cheap 3 times a year or buy good once every 3 years.

If I can offer some advice on re-gluing .. I've taken a couple tires and rims .. placed them in the oven on 350 for 8 to 10 minutes - the glue crystallizes and you can break the bead.. Then pick off the glue from the tires and rim .. scuff / clean and re-glue..
I've done this in between races where I've had great traction but weak foams..
I use Windex to clean the surfaces before gluing..
Hope this helps.

Inner Tubes from dirtbikes work well and are free. I just went into a shop and asked for a used busted inner tube, cut it in strips, bam... I have enough to last me years. Tip came from one of our local Mugen Drivers.
