I have several LC flat DA pads and they are all delaminating around the center hole after 2-3 times of use. I notice that it is worse for coarser foams like yellow and white pads. It looks like LC uses a single layer glue technology on the loop material to adhere to the foam since I don`t see any foam material being lifted on the loop material in the delamination. This is the newer batch since they have larger loop material surface for the cookie cutting problem.



Any suggestions Eric ?

the problem with the pads delaminating is that the loop is not designed to withstand the heat caused from the da. The da polisher creates more heat than the rotary buffer. The correct pads used for the polisher are the ones designed to withstand the heat formulated by the da polisherl
