Thanks!

Not at all necessary, just pointing out that anytime in the past I've heard of problems similar to this its turned out the user wasn't fully seating the pads on the backing plate before starting. If thats not the case with yours maybe its just a defective pad... in any event make sure to call and get it replaced ASAP. We back everything up we sell so lets get you a new pad!!

what speed were you using the pad weh it went bad .if you are using a porter cable meguires found that 5 and above created enough heat to seperate the backing from the pad . you can use yellow 3 m glue to put it back on .

If you're generating any measurable amount of heat with a porter cable then something is seriously wrong. I can polish all day and the pad is barely warm at speed 6 on the 7424xp... this weekend at a clinic I demonstrated this to more than a few people after polishing the hood of a black car with some deep swirls for the better part of 20 minutes the pad was not even warm, definitely not hot enough to cause delamination.
