JLS Plastic Flute Shims

• Sold in packages of 100.
• 9.5mm center hole.
• Waterproof

Plastic Shims offer an important advantage over paper shims in that they’re waterproof. This feature is especially important when using Straubinger pads or S2 hard-backing style pads. Unlike wrapped-felt pads, the outer diameter does not hug the wall of the pad cup to shield the underlying shim from moisture.

Plastic shims work best with a flat surface. If a pad cup’s interior surface has a curvature, then a pad stabilizer should be used.

A note on dimensions:

All shims are cut .003″ shy of their advertised outer diameter for ease of fit into the pad cup.
