Cool shop tip from west systems: Hook and loop to sticky...

Talk about favorite or hated suppliers, recommend good materials or sources, or anything of the same ilk. This is also a good place to suggest unique ideas and innovations you may have come up with.

Quick, cheap, and easy way to go from hook and loop to PSA sanding disks!

After melting three hook-and-loop pads over the past year I spent $20 and bought a PSA backing pad. It took something under a minute to switch out. I still have a few boxes of hook-and-loop paper kicking around so maybe I will have a yard sale someday.

I am done with hook-and-loop.

I find hook and loop highly entertaining... sort of like random orbital skeet throwers. The more you lean on it, the farther they fly... Still working through my stack of disks waiting for my sander to bite the dust. So to speak. (Grin!)
