Diamond Pads and Velcro ARRRRR!!
« on: July 17, 2012, 02:11:26 pm »
I am using a backing plate on my rotary machine with velcro to hold the diamond disks in place....except...it isn't >:(
I have tried to wash the velcro, scrub any contamination off the stuff, but they still keep flying off!
Any suggestions?

As you will be aware I have never liked Velcro Diamond Pads especially if there is lippage they are useless!  However, you can buy adhesive replacement velcro pads for driveboards.  What shape are the diamond pads?  Are they round or Frankfurt type
