Re: Design defect with CMA CCS 6.5" pads?

I have used the 6.5" CCS pads from CMA and have not been happy with them. The felt keeps separating from the white pads and the blue constant pressure foam on the orange pad has started to come apart. I am not happy especially given that these are fairly new pads but it could just be me - your results may vary. I do like the curved edge of the CMA pads, though.

Anyhow, I need to find different pads and was considering the
following:

1. 5" CCS pads from Danase.com
2. 7.5" CCS pads from whomever
3. 6.5" CCS pads from autogeek, autopia, or similar
4. Edge pads

These will be used only on a PC as I am not going to get a rotary until later this summer and then I'll be getting a lot of practice on some panels from a local scrap yard.

I've read many times that bigger is not better with the PC because smaller pads correct better than larger ones. If true, it makes no sense to use a 7.5" pad on the PC.

What are your thoughts/suggestions for me as I search for another pad supplier?
