may if you buy the kit you may not know what the heck these are for they're called interface pads um look a little bit unused usual we're going to talk about the interface pad and their importance and why you should be using them because they do serve a purpose and there's some times that you should be using them there's a open cell one and a closed cell one Sherry so can you just talk to um our viewers that might be interested in getting that perfect finish and what they can use these things for well mostly these are used with of course all the time sorry not mostly but all the time with our sheet goods and the reason we have these is because the foam is great when you're talking in the Finish room on prime or anything like that it is the best the speediest way to sand between coats but a lot of times we'll get into areas where there may be you need a little bit more aggressive um I know with conversion varnish that had been a problem with us in the past just some rougher surfaces and when we get into that we can't always use the phone because it doesn't flatten it out and that's the big thing is that if you've got a rough finish it doesn't matter if you sand it if it's still rough when you put your neck code you're going to still see that roughness so the interface pads gives us ability to to replicate the foam but with a conventional abrasive so this is the softer version this is the the soft um 10 millimeter and it'll actually if you need to get down you can see this pillow top we don't want a flat spot but we can actually wrap into that pillow top right we have to be careful though because again while that doesn't level this does so you kind of you got to keep yourself off of The Edge work right this probably isn't the best profile because it's a little tight for this but it kind of gives us an idea of what the other profile that we can use is the which is missing now hand me that it's going to be just a cut this is the a better profile to show it on if I want to sand this with the sander I can take this and I can actually use it to go all the way up into this right if I need it to be a little stiffer so this profile is a little bit shorter I want it to be a little stiffer I'll take a sheet good and I've got a little bit more push into it where I can actually get down into this deep profile right the other thing that I tell people all the time and this is not so much with the not just with the interface pads but with the sponge don't be afraid to use…
