Will 3rd gen PC pads work with the Flex?

[IrishCurse]

Do they work?  Whats the deal?  I have a couple sets, should I just trash them?

Are they the hex patterned ones? Believe they make the flex walk a lot

They are indeed the hex pattern ones.  So that would make polishing extra fun.  I have 2 sets of gen 4, but didnt want to just chuck the unused gen three.

To be honest, I did polish with them using the flex and it wasn't the most enjoyable session.  I did see improvement for sure, but yeah, it took some muscle to finish the job.  I was wondering if performance (cutting) is degraded or is it purely a control difference.

If they're completely unused you could post them in the Garage Sale forum. If I'm not mistaken, the only things prohibited there are used products and outdated chemicals. 

 

Or to be on the safe side you can send them to me if you were just gonna trash 'em

I used them last weekend.  I was using the new ones on my Flex,, 4th Gen.  It walked like I had a Great Dane on the backing plate.  So I switched to the old ones I had from last year with my PC and worked like a charm.  I have like 3 of each color the older ones.  Had no problem walking what so ever.
