Tried them, and they seem to work great, but I had a hard time giving up the tactile feedback I get with just the MM sheet on my fingers. Others will probably not have the same objection.

MonkeyNutz, Leave them in water a long time... the glue lets go and then you just have the sanding squares rather than the pads.

I got those colored pads for plastics/acrylics and they do work well. The color coding is great. I also have the gray ones for wood and I had fits when I would accidently knock them off the table and then have to try get hem back in order. What I did was use a colored permanent fine point marker and put a dot on the edge of each of the 9 pads using 1 dot on the first and 9 dots on the last. I never get them mixed up again and the the ink doesn't wash off as it soaks into the pad.

But since I got the 3 wheel buffing system (tripoli, white diamond, carnuba) I typically just sand to 400 grit and then buff with the same results. It is also a lot quicker especially when I have a number of blanks to finish.

I have 2 sets of these I bought from a member here. Never used them. Threw them on a shelf then they promptly got lost. Found them recently, need to use them. If the weather ever warms back up.

Pretty much looks like Micro Mesh in different colors. I use Micro mesh up to 12,000 grit on plexi, CA, corian and acrylics.
