Hi, y'all - Well, I just got a new 20" polish pad for my vibe lap from Kingsley. I saw - somewhere - that it you're supposed to glue the pads down in the pan. (that oughtta fix the problem I had with the other pad spinning). So, can anyone tell me which side is up on these pads? One side is rather fibrous looking and the other is more smooth and sorta "tufted" like carpet.
Seems to me, the carpet-like side would be better for polishing but, on the other hand, it might also be glued down more successfully... The blurb I read said to use "rubber contact cement" but that seems like it's 4ever once you glue it - would that 3M feathering glue work, or might that be too wimpy to hold with the inertia of 20lbs of rocks trying to get it to "dance along with them" as they rotate around the pan?
Thanks, Rick

Fibrous side down.
Either glue will work. When the pad is worn out, just pour some acetone in the pan and let it soak for a while. You'll be able to lift the pad out, then clean the pan with a rag and more acetone.

Thanks! I may have asked about this a while back... or just guessed on the first pad. I reckon I'll go big with the glue and use contact cement. I tend to load the pan at least 90% with some of the rocks being really heavy so it'll probably need some pretty strong glue to keep the pad still.... and from shrinking again. c-ya, Rick
