Why are my pads coming apart??

[cheetoh]

I am using a PC with M105 on my Black Trans Am. I am using 4" Orange LC pads, For some reason the Pads are coming apart, I don't think I am using to much pressure, What am I doing wrong?

do you mean the velcro is seperating or the foam is falling apart?

 

[cheetoh]

The Foam is coming apart, It starts on the bottom of the Pad near the Velcro.

you might be applying to much pressure and not keeping the pad completley flat. Is the foam cutting around the velcro? it might be the backing pad too. it may be your not putting that much pressure but the backing pad might be cutting it basicaly.

I just blew a LC Cyan HT pad to bits last night....

it looks like to much pressure at a angle and the backing plate is cutting it. what kinda backing plate do you have?

 

[cheetoh]

Lake Country 4" backing plate. The backing plate is smaller than the Velcro piece on the pad.

but when you apply pressure the pad mushrooms around the backing plate. it could just be the pads but i think you may be tiliting the pc a little to much.

Ok, I will try tilting a little less.

Too much pressure man... and your not flat... same thing happened with mine when I was brining a single stage red vette paint job back to life... had to apply a good amount of pressure and it started destroyign my pads.
