I've got some curved shapes that need sanding and I was thinking if there was some sort of pad for a ROS that would make it easy. I just need something that has some flex to it. I don't know if they make such a thing. Anyone know where to find one?

What Brand of of ROS and what size?...

One came with my set of Abralon that attaches by velcro.. but that would not apply here if not purchasing a set of Abralon. Then again it might as you might try the Homestead Finishing owned and operated by Jeff Hewitt to see if he sells separately...

Sarge..

Several brands of random orbit sanders have optional soft pads available, for exactly the reason you describe. Check the literature which came with your sander, or the manufacturer's web site.

Lowes has them on the shelf.... they look like kitchen scrubbers, but actually work very well

Keep in mid it is a Canadian company so if you order from them there MIGHT be customs charges.
