Is Tricky Rick closed?

 

[Sierra Clean Care]

Did exactly the same thing with some black pads when I needed to use my Cimex to help strip some wax off of T&G this past week....

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

Is Tricky Rick closed?

Rick can't provide same day service to Nevada

 

[Lyman]

My favorite color pad

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

Great for leaky garbage bags..

 

[BradFenstermaker]

anyone every tried using electric bread knife for cutting pad?

 

[hogjowl]

No

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

A box knife takes a minute per pad

[Dolly Llama]

Box knives?

..L.T.A.

 

[hogjowl]

It’s really not

 

[Sierra Clean Care]

lmao...lets see THAT diagram...

3 X 7.75 = 23.25”... out of a 24” pad, sure...
20”? I don’t see it....

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

Poor Lee, he's out there in the shop sweating over his trigonometry...

 

[Lee Stockwell]

No, I've made several when I ran out. Remember I said hexagon, and the 7.75 across the points,
I did them to get the job done, not to be pretty or "board approved"

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

Get a magic marker, a ruler and a piece of cardboard and let's see it

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

Assymeterical does not mean Hexagonal

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Assymeterical does not mean Hexagonal

Duh

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

it's OK to admit you're wrong Lee.

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

Lee sent me this..

I'll stick with 4 from 20".

The driver Velcro is a terrible thing to waste...

 

[Lee Stockwell]

I have no problem with the drivers other than the Cimex being slow.

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

slow compared to what?

yes you can fly a 175 over clean floors faster

I mostly encap clean floors.

 

[Sierra Clean Care]

I eat my words.....
In a pinch, I’m using this trick....
Thank you @Lee Stockwell

I've been doing this for a few years, I get Gorilla horse hair pads and cut them using a band saw. They last quite a while. Cheaper price then those Releasit pads.
