What they say

All right. So, we got [music] something here from Unidita. It's Undilon pads. 3x4 pads for your sander. And our 3x4 Echoand sander is probably the most versatile sander you'll use as a painter. So, what would these Unilon pants do for somebody? I'm a painter. Uh, Sher. >> So, what we discovered several years back was what the 3x4 is indicative of swirls. So, it'll leave some really deep swirls in your wood when you're sanding. And that became a problem especially in when we're staining doors. So we had to figure out a way how to either remove them or to lessen them. One of the things we did was with the interface pad as you know we lessened them a little bit with the coated abrasive but then we still had a lot of swirls to remove. So what we found was the 3x4 maroon if you use it in the center panel after the behind the 3x4 it will actually mask the swirls and it doesn't change the color in the stain. um it knocks the tops off of them where we don't see them in the stain and you can go ahead with your clear coat afterwards.
