Different Densities for Different Projects
The purpose of the different densities of foam sanding pads is to be able to get the scratches and flatten out whatever you are sanding. By starting with the hard Flexpad and working your way down to the soft pad, with correct grits of sandpaper, you can eliminate all bumps and ridges from the resin. To get the finished look that the professional level sanders create, you are looking at using 2 to 3 sanding pads to finish your work.
Flexpads are manufactured for years of service. Exceeding the recommended top RPM will cause pad failure and void any warranty.
