: Hi,
: I am doing my sanding with my ROS sander. After a half hour of sanding the
: loop and hooks break off and the disc comes off for good. Is this what
: happens to these things for everyone? And is there any good way to take
: the cottony residue left on the sander from the disc. Also, can the disc's
: be reaplied using a spray contact glue or will that mess up the sander's
: loops or hooks.
: Thanks

After a half hour of sanding that pad's trying to tell you something. It's TIME to put on a new sanding disk!

If your new disk won't stick, now that's something else. The hooks may be worn off your backing pad, in which case it's time to replace it. I use only soft backing disks on my ROS. Most ROS come with hard backing pads which are good for flat surfaces only.

All the best,
