Sorry, bobmarley are you asking me about the cloth? Mahalo, Larry

I can’t access my email for some dumb reason at the prez ???

But I’m sure he lurks here…If and when I talk w/ him, I’ll be sure to tell him you said, “hi” Larry.

I miss those days too !

BTW: You box system is KILLER !!!..I see fcs is trying to play catch-up to you,because of you system…good going!!!

Have a good surf !

The surface of the pad(s) is a tear/abrasive resistant surface(like most sanding pads eg.= Power Pads tm.).

I always recommend that you remove the sand paper while it’s still warm…NOT cold !

And yes , you still need to use glue w/ the exception of the velcro system…This Velcro system incorps a Velcro hook surface on the pad and a fuzzy backing on the sanding disks…a bit more costly,but eliminates the “gluesblues” hassles.

Got that about right Jerry ?

I’m amazed he hasn’t chimed in here on this thread…must be busy…Jerry was never one to sit around for very long…He liked staying busy.

Herb

Just finished my personal Supercharged Quad…(ya,that’s like----- 6 fins).

BTW Lots of thanks to Tom O’Keefe at Red-X,Pro-Box = Larry/Robert Smith,Brad Nydell/Rad Rob @Foam-EZ,and Jerry Mowe at Southshore Mfg./Flex-Pads.

My sandout times have dropped from like 20-35 min.s to 15-20 min.s w/ a marked cleaner sandout.

That in it self is worth it’s wt. in gold.

Thanks again guys,may you ALL be extremely successful in All that you venture in.

Herb

Alright Herb, Super charge those pics. Glade to hear Jerry is doing well, good guy. Mahalo,Larry

hey guys,

I’ve got a birthday coming up and have been dropping hints to the family about what I’d like to get. I was thinking about three flex pads. Which would you recommend for sanding the lam and fins? Hard? Med? Soft? Super soft blue thing? I’ve been using a hard disk and its been… challenging. Thanks. Eric

I’ve been using larry’s hard pads for the flats and soft pads for the rails, nooks and crannies with a tremendous amount of success.

Aloaf’s got it.

The Medium pad is a great “all-arounder” pad as well.

If I could get only one pad it would be a Medium,and probably is a 6" rather than the 8".

Any of the Flex-pads are worth it.

Happy Birthday Spud !

Herb

Local? He is a mere 20 minutes away from me…

BTW, Powers is the premier butt of our local inbred Jed jokes…but that in no way reflects on Mr. Mowe nor his incredible sanding pads…

Thanks guys!

And thank you Herb! It’ll be 38 this year. On the 11th actually. The really cool thing is I’ve gotten in touch with “Fatty” from Fatty Fiberglass in Fort Bragg and she has very graciously offered to give me some tips on glassing. I’ll be down her way (abalone diving) this weekend. Hope it works out. She has been very generous and I’m super stoked. So ya, it’ll be a very good time for a sanding pad upgrade. Gonna be a very good birthday! Later. Eric

Have a great time!

Abs…not around here anymore…I don’t think I would want to eat them from here anyway.

Saw some nice ones in the LBC marina the other week…on the walls…pinks and blacks…I’ll bet there very toxic as well…lol.
