: Hi Guys,
: I have a Porter Cable 343 5" r.o.sander and was hoping someone
: had advice on a soft adaptor pad etc. The stock pad is too hard
: and PC's 13905 contour pad seems not soft enough. There has to
: be a better solution to conforming to the chines and pinched bow
: and stern.
: Any thoughts?
: Thanks, Jim

To borrow PGJ's image, what you are looking for in called an "interface pad".

If you do a search for your ROS manufacturer and model you should be able to find one.

I've used them for years and recommend them in my instruction book for using your ROS on
the interior of your hull and deck.

All the best,
Rob
