I got this nice Craftsman disk sander, looks like this one shown. I only paid about $30.00 for it.
but how are you guys cleaning off the sticky residue left behind from the sanding disk?
I heard acetone, but that even did not cut it that well.
I ended up taking off the disk and cleaning it. I took a little gentle heat to the hub to get the disk off the motor shaft.
I used the acetone and a skuff pad, but it was still hard.
One poster on another group said after you get it all cleaned up, to put a coat of paste wax on the disk, and buff it off,
and this would prevent the residue from sticking on the disk.
I tried that this time, and It seemed to stick well.
as a matter of fact, it was ever so slightly off center, and I tried ro re-position it, and could not remove it from the disk.
It was close enough though.
Did anybody try the wax trick yet?
