The 3M backing plate is wicked...that's all I use...well not unless I'm using a wool pad then I have to use the regular Lake Country backing plate..nothing wrong with the regular backing plates it's just that the foam in between the backing plate makes a big difference...well at least I think so

so do the 3m baking plates wear down? i know the yellow ones i have dont seem to wear down, looks like they will last for years to come. Are the 3m the same or are they more dispoable like a pad.
