Another hint from Vince was to use a firm pad for the lower grits, up
to 180 or 220, then switch to the soft pads. His firm pads have a 1/4
round edge rather than the square edge that is standard.

Exactly

I've used those too, but they're only a quarter inch thick or so. I
like having three or four times that much padding as a rule. Just
personal preference however - nothing that says a mouse pad is wrong...
