Thanks again for the info. After getting home and looking, the 5 discs that I have are PSA, but only one still has the paper on it. All the others have already been peeled off. Can you use the spray adhesive on the discs after the cover sheet has been pulled?

Hey Don, don't worry about the "quality" of your questions!!! If this group was going to penalize anyone for asking " dumb" questions, I would have been gone long ago. Besides, I am willing to bet I was not the only guy reading this and saying" Man I am glad he asked that":D

I'd SURE give it a try. But maybe try heating the disk up first, to see if the sandpaper will stick then. Then try the 3M 77, if it doesn't stick.

Thanks! I appreciate all the help!

Don- I'd like to give a big DITTO to Bob's last post.

Heating up the disk is sunlight should help, but be sure to clean the disk with a solvent like mineral spirits. If a disk at normal temperature doesn't stick it's probably because the PSA has become dirty. I don't know of a way to clean the dirty PSA.

That's when you go to 3M stuff.

I have a simular problem. When I bought my SS it was the one used for the DEMO. The sandpaper pad was already attached to the disk (it is the only one I have for now). A corner of it is peeling loose. Would the spray adhesive work?

YES it should.
