MUST Have for Sanders. Interface Pads

What happens here

Traditional foam sanding sponges are often ineffective at removing 'knife marks' or 'molding marks' from raw wood, as the abrasive grain tends to recede and fails to exert sufficient pressure on the imperfections. In contrast, the half-inch interface pad, despite its softness, maintains a prominent grain and provides just enough 'give' to get into these marks and effectively remove them. This ensures a truly smooth surface, even when dealing with initial manufacturing defects or heavy wear, unlike foam which would leave these imperfections visible.

Goal: Learn how interface pads are superior to foam sponges for removing stubborn imperfections like knife marks or molding marks, which can recess into raw wood surfaces.

is hard yeah whether I'll do it by hand so so my question would be with um the interface pads do you need the interface pad if you have half inch sponges and what or if you do what's the difference between using this and this combination well there's a lot of times that this will not flatten out a rough finish right it won't fall okay right the other thing is is this if this was raw wood right right if you have knife marks all the way down you're molding yeah I've seen that a lot of times cannot get it out with even with a going to a course five inch sponge because that grain recedes I need that grain to stay more prominent but I need a little give so I'll go to the half inch interface pad and then that way I can get in and I can take out those knife marks or the milk molding marks the motor marks that you see so if I want to get a flat finish on a contoured Surface I'm not going to get a flat finish on a contoured surface with this because the grain is going to recede but on that I could get a flat finish on this side so that makes a whole lot of sense to me now so there we have it some good tips and tricks why the interface pad is actually you know in unida's kit so another thing that comes with unida's sanding kit is two different abrasives conventional abrasives we have film Tech and we have egg storm if you want to know when you should use one or the other or even what the difference is between the two because I know I've got that question on pay life Supply Co before in our next video we're going to talk about film Tech and echostorm so stay tuned for that video
