Replacing velcro on 2" sanding disc

[Alan Tolchinsky]

I have one of those velcro sanding pads that goes into a drill for power sanding. The velcro is wearing and I have an extra velcro pad but how do you put it on? Glue it or what? Thanks

Take the worn out pad to the belt sander and remove all the hooks. Get a can of 3M spray adhesive (the permanant kind) and following the instructions on the can glue your new piece to the old piece.

Youc might try to peel off the old velcro first. My orbital sander had the pad PSA'd on. Try a small area first.

I found that if it gets too hot the sticky didnt stick so I glue mine with CA medium and works fine, I use old mouse pads and make up two or three for the main grits I use and extras.I get the 2 inch velcro at benfranklins craft store, they have psa on them but i still use CA.

I get the industrial duty velcro at WallyWorld. Then I use contact cement... the type that is used for formica laminates. Once it's in place, I clamp it with a piece of T-shirt between a little block of wood and the velcro (just so I don't squash the hooks?). It always works for me, and has never come loose.

Thanks guys, there are some good ideas for me to try here. Alan

Might check out Steve's site (www.turningwood.com). I think he has a "tutorial" there. Saw it somewhere.
