Lore, I don't think it applies to CP pads, just the DA pads, especially the orange VC pad.
I've had four of these pads, and they've all done it.
Bufferman, the white pads don't do this due to the velcro going way past the backing plate and sitting on the same plane. The orange pad has a stepped design with the velcro the same size as the backing plate. Is the intention to emulate the white pad's design, because I think this will fix it.
BTW, although I dislike the stepped back design on the orange pad, I love the orange foam cutting ability and finish. Thats what makes it so frustrating. I go for the orange VC pad, then I think twice because of the cookie-cutting eventuallity.
I look forward to seeing the new design. Thanks for listening to our feedback. :bigups
