I purchased this Dani Sanding Pad a few weeks ago just to give it a try. I figured if it didn't work, it would still be great for sanding the inside of vanity bowls.
Package arrived just in time for a large cove kitchen job. The type we got was the 5" hook and loop that fits the Dynabrade and the Porter cable air sander. Fit perfect and the sandpaper stuck great and covered the entire bottom of the pad.
 
 I got right to it sanding a cove splash that was routed with the Betterly Cove Router. We started with 150 grit sandpaper which removed the glue line and the offset rather quickly. We decided that we would have the trainee try it. No problems either. In fact he looked like a pro after just a couple of minutes.
I was going to write a big long comprehensive review of this product, but let's face it, it is just a sanding pad. The only thing that needs to be said is that it works perfect and for the price ($35.00) it will pay for itself in about 10 feet of cove.
Don't mistake the Dani Cove Pad with the one Dynabrade sells. Although they look the same, I went through 3 Dynabrade pads because they fell apart after a short period of time. We have been using the Dani pad for about a month and have had no durability issues.
PROS:
- Inexpensive
- Much faster than a regular pad
- Saves sandpaper
- Durable
CONS:
VERDICT:
-
Just buy one and try it because if you decide you don't like it for the cove, it works even better on a vanity bowl. The pad contours to the curve of the bowl, so you end up using more surface of the sanding disk, speeding up the sanding process and saving sandpaper.
