It really shouldn't be a problem finding it at your local hardware store.

Perhaps try aqsking for Waterpaper instead (the guys are probably looking for 2000 grit sandpaper)

but yes, most hardware places have it, and if you still are batteling, try a paint shop like Chemspec (or any paint shop that deals in car paint) as water paper is primarily used in the rubbing down of car paint.

Where about in durban are you (aren't u in Kloof?). Let me know, and I will give you exact directions to a place that has it :)

Doobs, Builders Express? Used to be Servistar. Also Fed's should have it (now a Builders Warehouse). THats Feds, NOT Federated Timbers. Mica would also probably have it, and Midas.

If you are really stuck, goto a Panel beater and ask them if you can buy a sheet :P

There are doorways I haven`t opened and windows I`ve yet to look through, going forward may not be the answer, maybe I should go back!
