Thanks Pat. By hand, you almost can't help but cut the edges. I had a couple on the first stab. Also put a dent in it with a finger nail...I had to step away it ticked me off so much. What do you use to fill these with the minimum of pain? It's not terrible and I'm tempted to just leave it alone.
Tried to order the buffer but had problems checking out. How do you set up an account there? My failed attempt to check out was as guest. What other pads, etc does the buffer need to make it useful?
Matt,
Good guy? Only the best.....
I got mine from this company. They have a kit that you can't get direct from Griot's at a great price and they have it on sale. I comes with the perfect pads and they last a long time. I have done several full planes and mine are just now in need of replacement. With the System 51 compounds it works perfect. I use the Blue pad for the number one cutting compound, the Orange for number 2 and the Red for the number 3 polishing compound.
