: Hi John,
: I had a similar problem with my ROS after I put a new disc on it. It turned
: out to be the sanding discs themselves were not sticking to the hooks and
: would come off after 5 min. of sanding. The store told me it was the pad
: but it was brand new! I exchanged the discs for some norton discs and they
: worked fine. Now I have a hard time to remove them. I was using the Porter
: Cable discs and have now swapped to the Norton. A little more per package
: and a lot less aggravation but they don't come off.

Thanks guys. I bought two more 3 packs yesterday and I think that will get me through my ROS sanding and then on to the fairing board. I did some grunt work with a belt sander before the ROS.
John
