so I noticed you were using uh ecostorm abrasive right there that's a paper abrasive yes are there abrasives that are less likely to cause uh swirls no not really not with the 3x4 you can use the interface pad or a pad saver it will reduce the amount of swirls but it's not going to stop the swirling unfortunately just it's indicative of this SW this sander so once you get swirls in the wood like this you'll be you definitely want to eliminate them before staining right absolutely and so what can we do what can we put on the sander to eliminate those the maroon nonwoven unon PR pad it has a hook and loop backing it will not work on the 5 in if you put it on the 5 in the random pattern will actually cause swirls but on the 3x4 because it is a direct drive system it will actually take the tops off the Swirls and you don't see them in your stain right and it doesn't change the color of your stain and that's big right so you can't take any of the abrasives and sand it out you would generally if you start sanding with another coated abrasive you just put more swirls in right you can work it up through different grits but the more you sand the more swirls you're going to put in I find there's just a breakthrough period where you start to swirl you you need to stop there because if you don't it's just going to continue to swirl up so now with all these swirls right there I would just put on that um maroon um you what it was called a unon unolon and I would just put that on and begin sanding with that Y and you would go over it with the 3x4 sander and it would take your swirl so even as bad as those swirls are I would just use that to get rid of it yeah so we can take um put
