: I want to grind my own seat. I bought a slab of foam from Redfish. I bought a
: grinder - a 4 1/2" Black and Decker. Can somebody tell me what kind
: of disks I need? I'm hoping I can go to my local hardware store and get
: what I need.

I used a grinding wheel (for grinding welds) on the first one, but the tool that really does the trick in my mind is a soft wire wheel. Leaves a smoother surface, but is really hungry! Go slow & easy.
