These pads are designed to work with our PlasterKing 7” resin polishing pads for pool plaster polishing applications.\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eSince many pool contractors are using gas-powered weed cutters, Alpha® offers two options made with an M10 reverse thread to avoid the challenges of typical backer pads. One is designed as a hard backer with minimal flexibility to work on flat areas, and the other one has a much softer edge designed to polish curved areas such as corners and bottoms.The additional flexibility allows you to polish curved surfaces easier with full contact between the polishing pad and backer pad.\u003cstrong\u003e\u0026gt;\u003cspan style=\"color: #003399;\"\u003eClick here for features and FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-Quality Specialty Backer Pads with M10 Reverse Thread Designed for Weed Cutters Commonly used for Pool Plaster Polishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo Special Connector Needed for Installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEliminate the Risk of Spin Off Backer and Polishing Pad due to Incompatibility of Threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard Type is the General Purpose for all Surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSofter Type is Designed for Corners and any other Curved Surfaces\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"SpecsCharDiv\" id=\"ctl00_Body_productFeatures\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eApplication(s):\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.alpha-tools.com\/Images\/wetdry.JPG\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" class=\"table table-striped table-bordered\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 14.8862%;
