Acrylic backing plates

Hi Mitch - Thank you for your continued support. To reduce costs/need to purchase new backing plates, the acrylic backing plates can be reused. When replacing the top discs (Electroplated/ Smoothing discs or Tech-11 polishing pads) we recommend using very hot water, hair dryer on high or heat gun on low to heat and to loosen the adhesive and allow for easier removal. Once the topper disc is removed, residual adhesive may be left behind. The easiest way to remove adhesive left behind is to put mineral spirits on them, allow to sit for about 5-10 minutes and the adhesive will be very easy to wipe off from there. We hope that helps and please reach out to us if you have more questions.
