When sanding resin in an epoxy resin table up to 3000+ grit with a DA/RO sander, would adhesive-backed sandpaper give a more flat/accurate polish vs. hook and loop paper due to the potential for unevenness in the velcro system?

Welcome to the forum.

 

My experience when vacuum sanding / polishing with pads and paper to that level w/ my Festool RO 150 FEQ is that I have seen nothing to indicate that adhesive backed would work better than their quick fix abrasives.
