What happens here

When sanding, it is important to choose the correct abrasive. For paper abrasives, sometimes referred to as 'sanding paper,' an interface pad (also called a 'pad saver') is recommended. This pad is placed between the sander and the abrasive paper to protect the sander's pad from wear and tear, and also to provide a softer cushioning, allowing the abrasive to conform better to contoured surfaces. Ensure you always use a pad saver with paper abrasives for optimal results and longevity of your sanding equipment.

Goal: Properly use sanding abrasives with an interface pad to protect equipment and improve sanding quality.

It comes with an interface pad. I usually don't use the interface pad. This is a paper abrasive. Someone want to use an interface pad with this also. That's it. Right. Pad save. Did I say interface pad again? That's quite a bit. Go. I want to always use an interface pad. This thing is very important. If you don't have an interface pad, if you have a botany kit, you're going to find out today. So, we need a... That's it. Pad save. Not an interface pad save. Pad save. Good job. I was going to just roll with it because it doesn't matter. Everybody calls it an interface pad. It doesn't matter. It's like... It must be important. Actually, it is. I would have heard this once and then three times. And I may be three times in too much. Yeah.
