Don't use the PC hook & loop plate... - Page 2

I have the yellow 5" plate. Ruined one LC orange pad and my second is staring to go. I think it has to do with applying pressure to the pad with the PC, it cuts right into it.

At first I thought it was a defect in the pad, but I am not really sure.

Yes, it's definitely a combination of the overlap from the plate onto the foam because it's bigger than the pad loop area and the fact that it's razor sharp around the outside edge of the plate.

Is the Lake Country flexible yellow velcro plate larger than the loop area on their 6" pads? I'm looking at this one now because it's the only one available from Canadian distributors, as are those pads. Thanks.

I find this problem gets worse when using the PC at speed 6. I must say, that I've never had this problem with my Megs pads.

I just had a problem last weekend with my Sonus DAS kit. My Orange pad lasted One pass around the car before it developed a 'crack/seperation' around the white velcro backing for about 4 to 5 inches! I was using SSR2.5

I just did my hood yesterday afternoon with the Blue pad and SSR1 to get rid of the marring, and I noticed a 1/2 inch 'seperation' in the pad already!!!! Gotta email David Again, with pictures and the like........

I did receive a new, free Orange pad from Autopia car care yesterday, but it looks as though I either received a Bad Batch, or something else is amiss in shirewood forest.......

Could the 'stock/kit' backing plate be too big? Or the pads just not big enough, even if they came as a kit? I'm going to email anyway to get this resolved.
