FISHSTONE Tarpon Pads now available!

The TARPON's have arrived!

Our amazing Tarpon 5" polishing pad for Concrete is available. The unique triangular shaped segment design helps produce a swirl-free polish while providing the most effective channels for slurry removal. A unique triangular shaped pattern has just enough overlap to prevent swirling and also create an outward force throwing the slurry away from the polishing area. A full 6mm thick these pads are made from the highest quality industrial diamonds for longer life.
