While all wool pads can shed slightly with heavy use, this pad is constructed for durability. Consistent use and proper cleaning will help maintain its integrity and minimize shedding over time. Ensure the pad is properly attached to prevent undue stress.
Is this pad suitable for a beginner boater?
This is a heavy-cut wool pad designed for aggressive correction, best suited for experienced users or professionals who understand pad and product dynamics. Beginners may find a softer foam pad or a less aggressive compound more manageable initially to avoid overworking the surface.
