Disappointed in Rupes pads- input needed please

In post #2, Lane states that he uses the Mark 2 with 5.5" Rupes green pads & FG400 all the time. "It's a great combo." What could he be doing different for his pads to be staying together?

I completed an entire 2014 GMC Sierra Crew Cab with that combo and didn't have any issues. No priming, just 4 pea sized drops of FG400 for each 2x2 section running at speed 4.5 and blew the pad out with compressed air after each section. If I remember right I used 6 pads for that job.
 
Edit : moved to new post my rant and unpleasant experience (HEAT being the reason with continued use of machine even at speed 4) .
 
In my opinion what I see on the picture of the green pad, It was saturated of compound, and may it was working long time on high speed, I have short time working with rupes machine and rupes pads, I discover that they not need to be primed and they only need a few amount of product.
