Is there a way to find a 6" velcro-backed scotch brite buffing pad in North America?
Asked by CraftyFox101
I'm searching for a velcro-backed, non-abrasive 6" scotch brite buffing pad that I can use with my sander for applying a wax-oil finish to wood. The only source I've found for this pad is a website from Australia, and the shipping costs to Canada are way too high for me. Here's the product link: [Scotch Brite Pad](https://www.healthofmindart.com/products/scotch-bright-non-abrasive-150mm-velcro-backing-pads?_pos=1&_psq=scotch-bright&_ss=e&_v=1.0). Does anyone know if there are other sellers in North America? I'd even consider options that don't have velcro, but I really prefer a disc that's made for a sander or buffer rather than having to cut a larger pad to size. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Why not just buy a large 16 inch pad designed for floor polishers and cut multiple rounds from it? It could save you some money!

Have you thought about using auto detailing pads? They might work well for your needs!
ArtisanM3: I've checked some options but it looks like most of those pads are made from wool or foam, which tend to soak up a lot of the finish. I'm really looking for something that’s non-absorbent and similar to the scotch brite type.
