Concave Pads

When using concave pads, do you put the polish around the outside lip, or in the center? I used one the other day and it took quite a bit of pressure to even bring the center of the pad into play. Is this normal, or do you prefer the flat pads?

Re: Concave Pads

Well, now you know the issues with concave pads...........
Usually products migrate towards the center of the pad. I havent figured this out vs. centrifugal forces....lol

Re: Concave Pads

I put one line from the center to the edge. Seems to work the best for me.
