What kind of adhesive would stand up to the heat produced during power sanding say...a bowl? I have a sanding pad that uses velcro backed sandpaper, but the velcro came off the sanding pad. I tried gluing it back on with CA glue but that just gets gummy and it comes off again. The same thing's going to happen if I use epoxy. I read that some people use hot glue guns, but I'm not so sure I wouldn't have the same problem. Has anyone encountered this?

You might try some contact cement, but I haven't tried it. I spun off a few when I first tried velcro years ago. You should try to ease off on the pressure and slow down the lathe. Patience will pay off with longer disc life. I turn the lathe down to about 750 rpm and use a soft foam pad when sanding on the lathe. Hardly ever loose one now.
 
Go to a body and fender paint supply shop thats how DA disks used to be done.

heat is your worst enemy here..slow down and let the sandpaper do it's work..also sand for a short time, then let up and let the bowl cool and your sandpaper cool..

May I suggest the Tim Skilton (Austrailian) Power Sanding Pads as having the quality to endure.


double sided PSA adhesive is quite permanent -- 3M 777 spray adhesive is very good. I use it to spray glue adhesive to finger splints to sand pens. Avoid some of the OOR probems some develop with sandpaper and differential hardness of the material being sanded (true for wood and acrylics - they can vary in sandability/cutting).

If you are getting the sanding paper hot, you are doing it wrong -- and worn out 120 sandpaper is not the same as new 220 grit.
 
there was an article on building the mandrels in the American Woodturner == went to the index Fall 2007 Page 27 -- (22:3:27).
