What happens here

While foam blocks are excellent for sanding between coats on smooth surfaces, they often fail to effectively flatten rougher surfaces, such as those with conversion varnish. If a rough finish remains after sanding with foam, it will still be visible after subsequent coats. Interface pads address this issue by providing the necessary support and flexibility to flatten and smooth rough areas more effectively.

Goal: Understand when to use interface pads instead of traditional foam sanding blocks, especially for rougher finishes that require better flattening.

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 in areas where there may be you need a little bit more aggressive 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 next coat you're going to still see that roughness so the
