When should you use interface or protection pads on a sander, eg ETS 150/ RO 150?

Interface pads are needed when you need to conform over curved surfaces. The pads come in 5mm /15mm thick options in 150mm diameter. They also extend the life of your backing pad and abrasives. The thin Protection pad (3mm) is required if using any mesh or net abrasives to protect the backing bad from excessive heat.
