I must be doing something wrong. I have a 12" disk sander using PSA
sanding disks.
I have a heck of a time getting the used disks off the aluminum platter
to replace them. The adhesive does not want to come off cleanly. The
disks tear and leave part of the paper with the adhesive stuck on the
metal.
I have tried scraping with an old chisel, wetting, etc. Yesterday I
soaked the remainder with Goo-off and finally got it all off. Took about
a half hour.
Is this normal? Should I be coating the metal platter before stucking on
the new disk?
Thanks

if you do it often the heat gun can be pretty cheep. look for one from harbor
freight. You can use it for stripping finishes and such too.

I've got an old hair blow dryer, probably puts out as much heat as
most heat guns. I don't see how anyone could use it on their hair for
long long. Even on low, you can't hold your hand a foot in front of it,
for more than a few seconds. Got another one, nowhere near as hot. Get
one used for probably a buck or less, at a yard sale, or thrift store.

And a lot more likely to warp the disk. If the disk comes off easily, do
the soak in a platter of mineral spirits. If not, soak in sections under a
rag and wooden spatula to remove.
Have not tried this one, but someone once said that the big crepe eraser
will help.

Kind of a chicken and egg thing, ain't it? I don't do it very often because
it's such a PITA. If it were easier, I might do it often enough to justify
the price of the tool, but without the tool, I won't do it often enough to
need the tool. :)

that's a good idea. but my disc's never get that worn (G) I use zirconia and it
takes forever to get really dull on the disc.

Thanks, Wendell. Ill try that next time. I had tried a hair dryer
yesterday without success but a propane torch would certainly be a whole
lot hotter.

Buy one.
They are less than $50.
Can't believe how much I use mine.
BTW, hell of a lot less expensive than an unexpected fire if you screw up
with a torch.

You guys either believe in 'Overkill' {re - Tim Allen - - "MORE POWER !!"},
or are 'very lonely'.
Joanne goes through at least one hair-dryer a year. The last one only needed
a bit of electrical tape insulation at the handle/cord junction. With about
4 settings - from 'Cool' to 'Hot' - it is IDEAL for controlled 'warming'.
Use it to warm up PSA pads & plattens - pre- and post attachment, removing
the annual registration stickers from the boat hulls, small parts prior to
applying epoxy, getting 'bubbles' in clear-coat epoxy to 'pop', ditto
varnish, etc, etc.
If you HAVE to have a new one, take a look at 'After X-Mas' sales at almost
ANY CVS Pharmacy, K-Mart, etc. - probably find a decent one for $10 - 15.
MUCH SAFER than a heat gun . . . which CAN burn you, the wood, etc. Get
careless and it WILL cause a fire.

uses . . . and the price was CHEAP.

Especially if you swipe your hand in front of it while it's lit.
OTOH, I don't have a heat gun. Next time I have the OP's problem, I'll try
a torch. Better than the enormous pain in the ass of pulling the wheel and
scraping/napthaing it for an hour like I did last time.

$50 is a big purchase for me. I'd need to get a *lot* of use out of it to
justify it. I can't really see it. It's way, way, way down on the someday
list.

Granted, but it's a level of risk I'm prepared to accept more readily than
I'm willing to part with something in the neighborhood of $50 for a tool
I'll use a couple times a year.

Take a propane torch & lightly warm the sandpaper up. It will come right
off. Be careful to hold the torch about a foot away.

The heat from a propane torch is hot & "fast" takes about 2 seconds to heat
the sandpaper & glue so no warpage.
