I use solvent like Varsol, mineral spirits, etc., and then acetone to degrease before putting the new one on.

In the shop, I'd probably reach for the acetone, although a citrus solvent (like Goo Gone) would probably be better. Heat would soften the adhesive too.
I hope that helps,

Hair dryer to soften adhesive as you go and single edge razor blade, or putty knife.

LOL. Glad to see I am not the only one who gets impatient with things like that.
Acetone helps.
Acetone helps.

Notice how so many jumped in with answers? Makes me think you are not the first to do this. Of course I have never had it happen, but I hear a putty knife and mineral spirits work well.

Dan,
Since I have never done this, of course, I think you will find the application of heat with a hair dryer or heat gun will greatly speed the removal of those nasty remnants.
But, bear in mind that this is all very hypothetical for me as I always am patient in the shop and spend all the time required to remove the disk.
BTW, can I interest you in a bridge purchase in the lovely Inland Northwest??

How am I gonna get my tool rest on there?
Maybe rick makes a disc sander tool rest adapter?

Well if you decide to use a skew or preferably a very dull gouge...please repost so we can see the pretty kaleidoscope patterns?

Well, I will put scrapping all that off with and carbide tipped tool and re-shave any vibrations, imperfections of the disk surface, the table/tool rest is already there so with the sander on, and working on the left half of the disk plate, I would have the perfect surface (if you know what you are doing) to buy a Velcro self adhesive backing pad of the disk size and stop having this problem every time you need to replace the sanding disc...!:wink::biggrin:

For gods sake don't use a tool while the thing is spinning. Heat gun (hair dryer). You'll be able to scrape most of it off. May take a little bit. You can clean up with acetone after

Dan, I'm with George. I bought 'hook-and-loop' tape with adhesive backing at a local haberdashery (not sure if that's a term familiar to Americans? It's a shop where fabric, cotton thread, buttons etc are sold) and stuck the 'hook' side to the face of my sanding disc. Now I just buy 'hook-and-loop' sanding discs (they have the 'loop' material as a backing). No more mess!

I have a 5" putty knife (kind used for dry wall mud) that I sharpened just for this situation, then clean the stickum off with Acetone

How about some googone? You really have to be more careful Dan when you are sanding your custom finials ;>)

Hey all.
Thanks for the advice.
It had lots of crap built up from previous discs as well as the current one.
Grabbed a putty knife vas break cleaner as Andy suggested. Worked well.
I decided to get nice and shiny. Some 80 sandpaper became involved as well.
Got it nice !

Glad to hear you got it resolved, Dan.
Is it just me or does a nice shiny looking tool seem to beg to get all dirty and dusty again???
