What happens here
The presenter explains the function of the interface pad: when attached between a flat abrasive (like Filmtek or Ekastorm) and the sander, it allows the abrasive to conform to contoured surfaces, significantly reducing swirl marks. He shows how to attach an abrasive to the interface pad. Additionally, he introduces the pad saver, an essential accessory that attaches directly to the sander's hook-and-loop surface before attaching the abrasive. This protects the more expensive sander pad from wear and tear, especially when using paper abrasives that might wear through. He demonstrates the layering: sander -> pad saver -> interface pad -> abrasive.
Goal: This step demonstrates the use of the interface pad to improve sanding quality and the pad saver to prolong the life of the sander's hook-and-loop surface.
