Quick Overview

Mirka interface pads are foam backing pads designed to sit between the backing plate and sanding disc, improving surface conformity and sanding control. Available in 5" and 6" sizes, these pads are ideal for use with Abralon and sanding discs on gelcoat, paint, fiberglass, and composite surfaces.

Improved Sanding Control and Surface Conformity

Mirka interface pads are premium foam backing pads engineered to enhance sanding performance by providing a flexible buffer between the backing plate and sanding disc. This added interface helps the abrasive follow curves and contours while reducing the risk of uneven sanding or deep scratch marks.

These interface pads are commonly used with foam-backed abrasives such as Abralon, as well as traditional sanding discs, especially when working on curved, contoured, or delicate surfaces.

Available Sizes

  • 5" Interface Pad – Ideal for smaller sanders, tighter working areas, and detailed finishing
  • 6" Interface Pad – Best for larger surface areas and standard 6" sanding systems

Ideal Applications

  • Gelcoat sanding and finishing
  • Marine and yacht refinishing
  • Automotive paint preparation
  • Fiberglass and composite surface sanding
  • Wet or dry sanding applications

Key Benefits

  • Improves abrasive flexibility and surface contact
  • Helps prevent over-sanding and surface gouging
  • Enhances scratch pattern consistency
  • Extends sanding disc life
  • Compatible with Abralon and most hook-and-loop sanding discs

How to Use

  1. Attach the interface pad to the backing plate.
  2. Apply the sanding disc to the interface pad.
  3. Sand using light, even pressure.
  4. Replace the interface pad as needed when wear occurs.

Mirka interface pads are an essential accessory for achieving smoother finishes and greater sanding control, especially on curved or high-gloss surfaces.
