In Response To: Tools: Soft Contour Sanding Pad (Jim Schaffer)

: Hi Guys,
: I have a Porter Cable 343 5" r.o.sander and was hoping someone
: had advice on a soft adaptor pad etc. The stock pad is too hard
: and PC's 13905 contour pad seems not soft enough. There has to
: be a better solution to conforming to the chines and pinched bow
: and stern.
: Any thoughts?
: Thanks, Jim

Jim,
Newfound sells them http://www.newfound.com/images/InterfaceSanderPad-376f.jpg. I used one on the deck of my Merganser hybrid and it worked fine. I ordered two more, but mistakenly ordered the Porter Cable instead of the ones that fit my DeWalt. I'll sell the two that fit your sander to you for $12 postpaid if you want them. That's less than half price. -Wes
