Shop Tip
 |
Removing
old sandpaper
attached to disc sanders with pressure-sensitive glue can
become a headache, especially when the adhesive won't
release. Eventually, the paper tears and pulls apart and
leaves a mess on the metal mounting plate. There must be an
easier way!
TIP: Use heat to soften the adhesive. The heat source can be
a handheld hair dryer as shown above, a heat gun, or even a
heat lamp. Apply heat directly to the sanding disc in a
waving motion that covers the entire disc. Test periodically
by lifting the disc, and use more heat if necessary.
