Not 'needed', probably a personal preference kinda thing. Using GG6 with regular lake country plate worked fine once I figured out how to use DA; took ruining a pad or two (melting velcro) but ya get it down quick how to not overheat pad/plate. Combo of too much pressure, too much product on pad, work it too long etc.

Oddly, had a Griots vented plate i forgot i had bought, tried it outta curiosity one day but then it came apart in relatively short order so went back to lake country plate.

Hmmm. The extra plate it got is a 5" plate is from Astro tools. The description says "flexible edges".

I really won't know till I see it. I'll get home tonight and check. Still on the road till then.
