Presta Ivory Foam Compounding Pad 7 inch

Heavy-Cut Wool Pad for Marine Sanding Marks

The Presta Ivory Foam Compounding Pad is a 7-inch hook-and-loop disc built for heavy cutting of sanding scratches on boat gelcoat and paint. Its twisted wool construction targets all grit levels in a single step. Professional detailers and boat owners use it with a rotary or dual-action polisher to restore gloss before finer polishing stages. It is sold individually and listed as new condition.

Hook-and-Loop Attachment Limits Pad Changes

The pad uses a hook-and-loop backing that requires a compatible backing plate on the polishing machine. Wool fibers load with compound residue during extended use, reducing cutting efficiency unless cleaned or replaced. The 1-inch thickness provides cushioning but does not eliminate the risk of burning edges on tight curves if pressure or speed is excessive. No adhesive-backed alternative is offered for this model.

Verify Backing Plate Size and Machine Compatibility

Before ordering, confirm the polisher accepts a 7-inch diameter disc and that the backing plate matches the hook-and-loop pattern. The pad was first listed by the manufacturer on June 25, 2021, so ensure any older equipment still supports the current attachment standard. Check that the machine’s speed range suits heavy-cut wool pads to avoid surface damage.
