Troubleshooting
The pad is loading up with too much dust.
Tap the pad firmly against a hard surface to clear the fibers, or use compressed air if available.
The pad is sliding and not removing material.
Increase pressure slightly or fold the pad over to create a more concentrated area of contact.
Surface appears uneven after sanding.
Ensure you are using a consistent, uniform hand speed and pressure across the entire surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These pads require no complex setup; they are ready for immediate use out of the package. They are fully compatible with most primers, paints, lacquers, and metal finishing chemicals.
To maximize the life of the pads:
- Keep them away from high-heat sources.
- After use, tap the pads against a solid surface to dislodge dust particles.
- If used with water or solvents, rinse them thoroughly and allow them to air-dry completely before storage.
- Store in a clean, dry area to prevent the fibrous material from picking up debris or grit that could scratch your project.
