Default Making my own version of 3m backing plate

Since one can't get a 3m backing plate here in the US, or spend $80 to get one, I was thinking...
What about placing a pad, for instance a lo-profile orange 5" pad, on a 5" backing plate, spray the face of the pad with adhesive spray, spray the back of cut-to-size hook velcro, and glue the velcro to the face of the low profile pad. Now just choose a pad to use for a particular job, and slap it onto the now-velcroed face of the lo profile pad, which is now used as a cushion.
Any thoughts on this?
