I have a 12" Grizzly disc sander, my question is there an easy way to strip a stick on pad from the disc without scraping and marking up the disc? I would hate to mark up the disc if there is another way. The disc is aluminum. Appreciate any help.

Acetone will loosen it.

 

[ez Ed]

heat gun or a blow dryer set on high.

second the acetone.

Once the disc is pealed off I use Varsol/mineral spirits, WD40 will work too just more costly. Once clean of glue I use Acetone to clean the greasy film left by the Varsol. I'll give the heat gun a shot next time.

WD-40 might work as well and it is easier to apply than acetone. . I hate using acetone and try to avoid it.

I use goo-off or goo-gone.

Heat to soften adhesive and peel off the sandpaper. Xylene to remove any remaining adhesive.

I saw something the other day, I think it was on some YouTube video, that if you placed the disc in the freezer for awhile that the adhesive would peel off.

Thanks all,

I'm sure with all the suggestions I can come up an easy way now to get the job done. Many of the suggestions I would not have thought of with out your help.

Thanks again, Don
