Backing plate ripped in half

[quantim0]

So I am in the middle of working on a friends car that I need done by tonight and my velcro backing plate just separated. I am trying to use some automotive sealant to glue it back together as a temp fix. Is there anywhere that I can get one locally? Half his car is swirl free and I need to do the other half. I am not thrilled right now. As soon as I have money I will be ordering the Edge pad system.

Thats sucks, have you tried looking for an automotive paint supply store?

Long shot but it might work for a temp. fix. Epoxy 5 minute glue (The two tube stuff). Maybe span the crack with some type straps epoxied on the plate. The reason that I suggest this is we used to glue a golf Driver head on a shaft with this stuff. There's a lot of torque to a golf club. If you can't get some at a local hardware store call a golf course and ask for a little. Good luck. Sorry about the breakdown.

Damn right Meghan to the rescue!!! I'll post up my experience after I finish working on the car.

Be sure it you are using a backing plate never exceed speed of 5 opm.
