Visited a custom shop in Portland last week and noticed they use 3M's new sanding disc

Honestly I'm wondering if I need to adjust my technique or if it's just the disc material.

Wait, has anyone checked if those 3M discs are actually meant for a different backing pad size than what's standard? @alicesingh might've been onto something by asking how long I tried them - but the real issue could be that the hook-and-loop pattern doesn't match up right with older tools. I swapped over to a different brand's pad after noticing the discs kept slipping off center, and that alone fixed most of the uneven sanding marks I was blaming on my technique. Maybe the shop didn't set you up with the exact pad those discs were designed for.

How long did you actually use the discs before forming that opinion?
