    3" Trizact 3000 Foam Disc and 3" Backing Plate Question

    Just got this in today from my order. Pretty confused looking at the disc. Cant figure out how they stick to something. Or at least how I attach them to the 3" backing plate let alone the backing plate to the DA.

    There are 5 adapters to use to put the plate on the DA(or other things). As far as discs to plate that's all Velcro. Did you get the interface pad?

    It almost looks like the backing plate and discs both use
    the hook (rough) part of velcro and the interface pad uses the loop side to make the parts stick together. (make sense??)

    See thats what i figured. The part that stumps me most is there is no velcro on the backing plate or anything on the foam disc that looks like it peels off and sticks to the backing plate.

    What are you both referring to as interface pad?

    The foam pad shown in that link that goes between the BP and the disc.

    Perhaps it would help to see what you actually bought if your pads don't have a velcro backing.

    I assume the back of the discs have the same texture as the backing plate? (rough side of Velcro)?
