Hook material for DIY contour blocks?

[eschumac]

I searched and came up empty. Does anyone have any references or recommendations for loop material close to the Hook Festool uses for things like sanding pads? I'd like to make some contour pads that have loop on them. I would have thought this was a common thing, but my google-fu came up empty.

Anyone?

Velcro?  It's all over Amazon.

I’ve seen sheets and rolls of the stuff at Home Depot.

Sure. It's hook, but it's not typical velcro. It's smaller/shorter.

maybe one of the 3M products
"Extreme Conditions" or "Low Profile" ?

I bought 6" round hook and loop conversions at my local Ace hardware and trimmed to fit. If you are making wooden sanding blocks, they stick much better if you put a finish on the block where you want the pad to stick.

Here's a link with a number of different sizes that came up with a search of "Hook and Loop Conversion"

I found the 3m product that people use, but it's special order. I then looked at the Mirka pad savers as a solution, but this is perfect. Thank you.
