Re: [Paddlewise] Random orbital sanders for repairs (was: coat of many colours?)

Any comments on the velcro vs the adhesive disks.  I got a random orbital
sander for Christmas that uses the adhesive disks along with a large supply
of velcro sanding disks.  I need to take one or the other back.

The sander I received has the dust collection built in so it is available on
the adhesive units.
