I have a very old Bosch 5" ROS that just lost the thin film hook pad after many years of service. Both the base pad and the thin film hook pad are in fine shape; just a long term adhesive failure it seems. I tried to adhere it to the pad using the 3M spray adhesive after cleaning both surfaces with denature alcohol but I'm not sure that is a long term solution as it doesn't seem to be well adhered. I hate to just give up on the sander as it works fine otherwise for my uses. Does anyone have suggestions for an adhesive to stick the pad back in place?
I looked for replacement parts but they don't seem to exist for something this old.
I looked at replacing the sander but I'm not willing to take the Festool slide to bankrupcy for the limited use I give to ROSs. Maybe another Bosch, or DeWalt or Makita?
Thanks.
