Glue for sanding disc pads

[Hugh]

Hi there Everyone,
I am making some sanding disc pads. To run in the drill while the bowl is on the lathe.
I have been using 3M Super 77 glue in the past.
My complaint is that the heat build up softens the glue and the Velcro slips.
So......the question:
Does anyone have a glue that will not soften up when in use?

Or, is it just a problem that I am causing by sanding too hard and too long for the heat to build up?
I realize that is part of the problem here.
But, was hoping that someone may have a magic glue for me to use.
Thanks.
Hugh

77 is a removable adhesive, 90 is permanent. I also suggest you watch Vince's video on power sanding. If you are getting that much heat, you will also damage the velcro hooks. Slow both the lathe and drill way down. You'll feel a noticeable difference and can actually feel the abrasive cut.

Richard,
Good video. Will try the interface disc pads and also slow down as you tell me I should.
Do not think I have ever seen 3M 90. Will keep my eye open for it.
Thanks for the answer.
I knew I sanding at too high of a speed. I also press down a bit too hard.
Thanks.

Contact cement used to be pretty standard for velcro on the pads. Somehow I got a bottle of neoprene contact cement once and it didn't work well, but the regular stuff has been fine. Until I sand too fast and/or with too much pressure. It's a lifelong struggle.

Regular.contacr cement works great. If your creating that much heat you need to change your procedure. Dont push as hard, slow down the bowl speed or slow down the drill or all 3.

Thanks Everyone.
I believe I need to change my sanding methods.
Will try other glue too.
But, in the end.....I believe it is a user error problem.........the user in this case is me.
Thanks.

I buy my 3M 90 at Menards. Auto paint stores usually have it too.

They also make 3m 80 for rubber and vinyl

I used to use Barge Cement, which is a contact glue used for leather work, and probably other stuff. Like others have said, and Vince started me doing this, slow speeds and light pressure. I never get my trigger on my drill over half way down, and I never use any more pressure than the weight of the drill. It seems like it should be the other way around, but the slower speeds let the abrasives dig in and cut better than high speeds. It also has the side effect of extending the life of the bearings in your drill.

Thanks Everyone for the answers.
In the end...........it is user error........me being the user.
I will try and mend my ways.
I knew there had to be a good answer.
Thanks.
