If it comes loose, spray the adhesive on both the pad and the velcro. Let it dry for 20 minutes and put them together. That creates a permanent bond.

@cosmicallyderived6 ай бұрын
You are supposed to spray both mating surfaces it’s true. 20 min seems long however. The can of spray adhesive should state how much let up time it wants for both surfaces to become tacky before joining.

@kellyvcraig4 жыл бұрын
Generally, using this type of glue, you apply it to both items and wait until you can touch it without it coming off on your finger, though it's still tacky. The can will explain applications. Once both are "dry," you get one shot, because wherever it touches it sticks, well, like glue. You can use a couple sockets in two opposite holes to line up the pad when pressing it down. Just find two that fit relatively tightly in the holes. For smaller holes, dowels are, obviously, a better choice.

@Casual DIY ...just a tip, i've been using spray adhesives (3M) for about 35yrs... if you want a more permanent adhesion you need to spray both the plate and the velcro let them setup (gass off) then put them together.... more or less these sprays are just contact cements just a consumer version of what they use to glue headlines in cars.... some of the cans of spray will even have two sets of instructions , one for temporary bond and one for permanent.....

Fingèrs crossed that it works well. The velcro I used came from Axminster tools was Hermes brand and self adhesive, but it only seems to be available in 110mm wide strips. The biggest issue with a random orbit sander will probably be heat - if the machine is used for long periods without a break, the glue may start to break down. Now you have lots of spare velcro it will be easy to make specialized sanding blocks to suit your projects, and use up those old discs that still have a bit of life left in them!

Yes that's what I'm worried about, it's the heat but so far used it for about 1h constant and it's still ok

I was wondering, is it possible to fit 150mm pad on this 125mm Makita sander. It uses almost the same watt motor as the model 6030 which is 150mm pad, so I think it should handle it ok. Can u do such experiment?
@CasualDIY3 жыл бұрын
You can but the sanding disc will go over the sanders pad which means there will be no pressure going onto the wood from that part of the sanding disc which makes it pointless.

Did you factor in the spray adhesive, hole punch and Velcro, the hole punch alone would be more than £4. What size is the hole punch also? It’s a great idea though I’m in this position at the minute and was looking at buying a new pad, also have you any verdict on how the hook and loop you glued on compared to the aftermarket pad you bought. Keep up with the great videos
