Handheld sander velcro problem
 

I've got one of those electric sanders that you put three-inch
triangular pads onto.

Except the velcro on the sander no longer grips them. What's the
solution?

buy a new pad and next time dont run a full speed and don't press so
hard. the heat generated melts the hooks in the velcro.

The early sanders were quite low power but the newer ones are 2 to 3
times more powerful and that creates more heat.

Replace the pad - they are expected to be consumable items...

Obviously I've replaced the sandpaper pads many times, but I have never
seen replacements for the velcro pads attached to the body of the sander
available for sale. Suppose I just have to look harder?

Noted. I'll try to find one that's specific to the sander I have.
