I bought a velcro backing plate from TOL a while back and have been using it with my PC and the orange LC pads. I've been pretty happy with it. It holds the pads well.
However, recently I bought some white and yellow LC VC pads from AutoGeek that just won't stay on the backing plate. Putting a pad on and flipping the PC over to use it, the pads usually fall right off. I noticed that the area where the backing plate attaches to the pad on the white and yellow pads is different than the orange.
I contacted AutoGeek about this and they told me that the orange pads were "different" but in hindsight, there is no way everyone is using these pads and having the trouble I am and it not being more commonly mentioned. I've already ruined one of the yellow cutting pads just from the sheer pressure Im having to use to keep the pad on the PC and not flying off like a frisbee while it's in use.
So, before I run out and buy another backing plate, I wanted to see what everyone else is using so I make sure I get one that's going to work with these yellow and white pads.
Thanks!
