Just a quick question about some sandpaper. I have the PC ras that uses the
hook and loop paper. Today while on the Snap-On truck I picked a air 6in
sander. It uses the stick on paper. My question is this, is PSA the stick
on type? Dan don't carry any paper on the truck and he called the stick on
something else.
Thanks, Mike

Mike,
PSA = Pressure Sensitive Adhesive. It is the "stick-on" type. Hook and
Loop is like Velcro. PSA is like, uh...., Scotch Tape!
Hope this helps ya!

PSA stands for pressure sensitive adhesive and it's sticky stuff. Another
common type is the hook and loop (which is similar to the rough side of velcro).
The PSA disks cost about half as much but they can't be reused. The hook and
loop disks can be peeled off and then reused later if you need to go back.

thanks guys, that's what I thought about the psa but wasn't sure. Amazon
listed it as hook & loop and psa. I figure this will work better for
agressive sanding then my belt sander.

How does the "stick-it" stuff that 3M sells differ with PSA? It seems
to allow you to remove a pad something like velcro does, but it is a
weak adhesive.

I notice that my posts through Google are way down the list. So far
that I have a hard time finding them myself unless I do a search. I
can imagine that few people end up "tripping" over them. I saw my
posts almost immediately back in the days when I posted directly. I
am on Comcast now and using IE instead of Netscape. I will have to go
through a learning curve if I want to post as I did in the past. How
many of you post directly through a newsgroup service vs. Google??
Still wondering about Stickit VS. PSA.

For the fastest stock removal, you're probably still going to be
better off with the belt sander - given the same (or even close)
grits.
