3m Scotch brite clean and strip wheels...

Anybody used them. Im trying to remove gel coat/hard rubber layer flooring to get down to the original glass area. Probably an length of one meter by 15cm. The above wheels will do it but I was wondering if anyone else has used them or any other suggestions of how to do it. Ta nic

I use sanding discs on the grinder and find this works well. Use a finer grade for finishing.
