When I sand a bowl by hand, the heat from the friction some times gets kind of warm, as you all have more than likely experienced. What I have done is used cut up pieces of an old mouse pad as a backer for the sandpaper. Works quite well for me, thought maybe if you are having the same issuses, you may want to give it a try.
