Alpha PlasterKing Backer Pads
Alpha PlasterKing Backer Pads are specially designed for pool plaster polishing applications, offering a reliable and efficient solution when used with Alpha’s PlasterKing 7” resin polishing pads. Developed to meet the needs of pool contractors, these backer pads are optimized for use with gas-powered weed cutters and feature an M10 reverse thread to eliminate the common challenges associated with standard backer pads.
Two options are available to handle different surface requirements: a hard backer with minimal flexibility for flat areas, and a softer-edged version designed for polishing curved surfaces such as corners and pool bottoms. The added flexibility ensures full contact between the polishing pad and backer pad, allowing for smoother operation and more effective polishing across both flat and contoured surfaces.
