Industry Context
Sponge-style polishing pads have been used in the stone industry for many years, and different versions exist in the market. Fat Boy Sponge Pads came out after the early Monkey Pads, and many are making the switch to Fat Boy Sponge Pads over Monkey Pads or Donkey Pads.
Very Important Pro Tip – Use With Venom Bite Pads
Many countertop shops use Venom Bite Ceramic Resin Pads (3-Step) together with Fat Boy Sponge Pads. Venom Bite pads use a special ceramic resin formula designed for quartz & natural stone and are commonly used to fix surface scratches and help in certain polishing situations.
At times, some situations call for using Venom Bite Pads first, and other times they’re useful in conjunction with the sponge pads. Many professionals like to have both systems on their team so they’re ready for whatever the stone surface requires.
Tips From The Pros
Many fabricators soak the pad in water for about 30 seconds before use. This lets the sponge absorb water, helps the pad run cooler, and allows smoother polishing when used wet.
5 Inch Fat Boy Sponge Pads give fabricators and restoration techs a complete quartz & stone polishing system—from 150 to 15,000 grit—at a cost and durability level that has continued to gain long-term use in the stone industry.
