    Priming Pads, Picking up Bead and Dry Sanding

    I am a bit cornfused....

    Dry polishing bad.

    Priming Good.

    In videos, when using a rotary with a new pad, I always see picking up the bead on an unprimed pad. In certain shots where you can see the bottom of the pad, it appears as though only in inside 2/3 of the pad has product on it. Doesn't that lead to dry polishing with the outside 1/3 of the pad?

    Looks like I need a primer on priming.

    Thanks

    So much time and so little to do. Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it. ( WW 1971 )

    Here is a video that Mike has made about using the Rotary.

    When using the rotary and pulling in a bead your actually pulling the product into the pad from the outside inward.
