I use screens for my pc sanders, I get them from all-wall, they are not listed in the catalog, they are from johnson abrasive, the sell a backer pad for them, but i use them over worn out pc pads, they also sell a differant washer to go between the screen and the pad, but I use the aluminum one that comes with the pc, in other words, I just use these screen pads over a worn out pc pad, no other changes.

I have found this to be the answer (for me) to eliminate the "shine" problem you are describing, they also completely eliminate the "swirl" problem.

If your interested in them, just call all-wall and tell em you want the johnson abrasive screens for the pc and they can hook you up. BTW they ar about 1/2 the price of pads

I have three pc sanders and have been using them since 1976, If I can help you out on this, send me a pm and I'll send you my phone number

Are there different grades or grits to the screens? If so, what do you recommend?

I keep 150 and 180 grit on my truck, I find the 180 most to my liking, you can get up 225 grit I believe.

I need to correct my eariler post, I have been using the pc since 1996, not 76,, sorry bout that one, too many homebrews.
