Product Description

The 17-Inch Venom Fat Boy Sponge Pads are professional large-format surface polishing and scratch-repair pads designed for floor machines, large-surface polishers, and full-slab applications where maximum coverage and uniform finish are required.

Venom Fat Boy Sponge Pads were developed as a surface-first polishing system, and the 17-inch size represents the largest format in the lineup, allowing fabricators and restoration crews to polish very large areas efficiently while maintaining consistent surface clarity.

Using a diamond-sponge style fiber construction, Venom Fat Boy Sponge Pads distribute pressure evenly across an expanded surface area. This floating sponge-backed design minimizes edge loading, helps prevent swirl marks, and maintains a uniform finish across wide slabs and flooring.

The 17-inch size is commonly used for:

• Full quartz slab polishing

• Quartzite slab polishing

• Granite slab polishing

• Commercial stone flooring

• Large-scale restoration projects

Venom Fat Boy Sponge Pads have been in the professional stone market for over six years and have become a trusted option as shops increasingly move toward large-format slabs and floor-machine polishing workflows.

Design & Performance

Built with a diamond-sponge style fiber construction, Venom Fat Boy Sponge Pads provide:

• Maximum surface coverage

• High water retention for cooler polishing

• Even pressure distribution across large areas

• Smooth blending and resurfacing

• Consistent surface clarity and finish

This design makes the 17-inch Fat Boy Sponge Pad ideal for resurfacing, scratch refinement, blending, and final polishing on very large stone surfaces and floors.

Primary Applications

• Large-format quartz slab polishing

• Quartzite slab polishing (natural stone)

• Granite slab polishing

• Stone floor resurfacing and polishing

• Commercial flooring and restoration work

• Surface scratch repair and blending on large areas

Discovered Crossover Use (Technique-Dependent)

Although the 17-inch Venom Fat Boy Sponge Pads are primarily used on floor machines, some professionals adapt them for specialized large-surface polishing setups depending on equipment configuration and experience.

This crossover use is technique-dependent and not the original design intent. Results vary based on pressure control, machine speed, water management, and operator technique.

Very Important Pro Tip – Use With Venom Bite Pads

Many fabrication shops and restoration crews use Venom Bite Ceramic Resin 3-Step Pads alongside Venom Fat Boy Sponge Pads.

Venom Bite pads are often used for localized surface correction, while Fat Boy Sponge Pads handle large-area blending and polishing, especially on full slabs and flooring. Having both systems available allows professionals to choose the right approach for each stage of surface correction.

Tips From the Pros

Many professionals soak the pad in water for approximately 30 seconds before use.
This allows the sponge to fully absorb water, helps control heat, and promotes smoother polishing when running on floor machines.
