    Yea I'm not sure what happened, but like you said, I might have used too much product, so I'm going to practice using the smaller set up and see what gives me the best results. This was the first time I used my PC as a 3 inch so I have a lot of practicing ahead of me.

    Thank you for all of your advice!

    Re: 3 inch pad question

    Just because both pads were orange doesn't mean they were the same

    These were the type of pads that I used since my boss pads did not come in until today. Do you have any recommendations for pads? Have you had better luck with a thinner or thicker pad with a 3 inch set up?
