Power On with Dust Extraction: For best performance, connect your sander to a vacuum system to maximize the pad’s multi-hole dust collection. Start Sanding: Use steady, even pressure—let the pad do the work rather than forcing it. Begin with coarse grit if removing coatings, then switch to finer grits for smoothing. Monitor Performance: Replace pads once sanding slows, clogs, or shows wear to maintain a smooth finish. Frequently Asked Questions Can these pads be used on fiberglass as well as plaster? Yes. These pads are designed to handle a variety of surfaces, including plaster, fiberglass, concrete, and gel coats. They deliver consistent results across all pool substrates, making them a versatile choice. Do hook-and-loop pads hold as securely as PSA pads? Absolutely. Once attached, the hook-and-loop backing keeps the pad firmly in place during sanding. The added benefit is that you can swap pads quickly without losing holding power. How long does each pad last during pool resurfacing? Pad life depends on surface condition and the grit used. With proper dust extraction, pads maintain their cutting power longer. Replace them when sanding feels less effective or when clogging occurs to avoid uneven finishes.
