I can corroborate (anecdotally) the information on fiberglass dust- or at least epoxy- I was restoring an old squirt boat when my first pad went. It was covered with nylon epoxied onto kevlar, but the nylon was originally put on with some wrinkles when it was made 18 years ago, and it had started to delaminate. Anyway- I made it about half through and the backing pad was toast.

When I was in a professional cabinet shop we used peel and stick, but we also had 4 sanders- each with a different grit. So as you sanded through the grits, you didn't switch paper, you switched sanders. That's not practical in my home shop.
