Does this guy still come on here
I used some of his polishing pads and they were great but I need to talk to him.

 

[White Room]

Give him a call.....

 

[Concrete guy]

Ask away. Or give me a call during during the day for a longer chat if it's more involved.

Yes I'll call you tomorrow what's the best time to ring, you sent me two pads a couple of years ago I think we'll I was polishing a pool last week and run out of my pads I normally use so in desperation was searching around in my box and found the pads you said try well one of them was mustard and had your logo on the back so I want to buy some now

Any time 9am to 5pm it'll either be Paul or me that answers the phone. Before 3:30pm for same day shipping.

If you want a technical conversation ask for me (Alan).

Do you do 60 /80 so in this range ALAN .?

 

[Concrete guy]

Yes that's a copper bonded diamond pad. Designed for concrete and similar abrasive materials, long lifespan, sometimes referred to as "hybrid pads" as they are somewhere in between grinding and polishing.

We do #30, #50, #100, #200 & #400 in these, 100mm or 125mm.

What are you polishing?

A material called pacelite, a swimming pool plaster !,or fine terrazzo ,marble chippings, marble dust , cement. I was very impressed with it's performance, I had 60 s in another type of pad that were not touching it, the longer you leave this material the harder it gets,.

 

[Concrete guy]

That makes sense, hard terrazzo behaves like concrete when being polished.

Just posted a little film to your Facebook page, it's simple to upload take a look, I'll ring soon and order some 125 pads look good! Only used that 50 bit course for our finish, we usually use 60s and done not sure if 100 would be too fine

 

[Concrete guy]

That looks very cold and very wet!

It might be worth having a #30 pad in your kit to sort out localised lumps and bumps quickly.

If these are simply used for smoothing the surface rather than creating an actual finish I'm not sure you'd need #100. The #30 and #50 would probably be just fine. You might want to try a semi rigid rubber backer to allow the pads to take on more of the shape of the curve, this will reduce the edge wear that you get in the image you posted above.
