Sander problem: adhesive sand paper falls off
Hi,
I just purchased a used craftsman sander designed to work with adhesive sandpaper. But the sand paper stays on for about a minute or so and falls off. I cleaned the surface of the sander very thoroughly and I think it's very clean. It used to have some gunk on it and I clean it with mineral spirits and let it dry for a comple of days. I also tried vacuuming it to make sure that there is now dust in it. The sand paper that I'm using is pretty old, came with the sander, but sticks on fine initially before falling off. What is the likeliest culprit here? Thanks! Aaron Fude |

Buy new paper. Adhesives have a shelf life. Sounds like yours are past it.

You might also look at buying a 'conversion' kit.. essentially an adhesive
hook & loop pad.. that lets you use hook & loop sanding disks.. easier to change back and forth Mike wrote in message ups.com... Thank you! |
