I have been pondering this for awhile and all I can think of is dirty comments.

Mike if the paper tubes are coming off you may have a problem with the rubber tube or you bought some sleeves that are not the correct size by just a little bit.  Clean the tubes of all debris and see how tight the fit is when you slide the sanding tube on.

What brand is yours?

I take offense at your accusation of my autoeroticism?. especially with sandpaper.

You should have a washer and screw at the top of each spindle.  By tightening the screw, the washer compresses the rubber on the spindle which in turn holds the sanding tube in place.

Sandpaper can be extremely excruciating.

Don't ask him papadan.  He'll just get revved up.
