Drying Surbuf Pads?

[canairb]

I have read that after washing foam pads, it is best to lay them out faced down to dry so gravity pulls the water away from the glue velcro backing.

Surbuf pads have a foam center, and I assume a glued on velcro backing, along with the glued on microfingers on the opposite side.

So what would be the best way to lay the pads out to dry? Still use the face down method or maybe stand them up on their edge?

I dry all my foam pads with them on there edge like this. The surbuff will get dried the same way for me.

I dry my pads face down on grit guards. Works well to draw the moisture away from the velcro backing/glue...

I agree, I do my LC and similar pads the same way. But the surbuf pads have glue on both sides. One side for velcro backing and the other side for the micro fingers.

Have to agree with Cee Dog and Highend, I dry all my pads on there edges.
