I would like to try this stuff as I do much playing with covers and resurfacing balls with my vertex spinner.

Haven't seen any special "holding" devices for them, like a CAB.
Here's one:

I believe there's someone here who sells them; check Wanted/For Sale or "Cover Preparation forums.
Same price here:

Doug,
Enjoy my $200 mistake! (mumble, curses, {expletive deleted}
)The closest I can come is this gem I use sometimes, but not with Abralon per se. It's good for any 5" or 6" diameter hook and loop sanding pad.

(Edited that darn humongous link; it was screwing up the entire thread; just do the simple search)
I use this company a LOT for my sanding needs for wood and other stuff.
If this link doesn;t work, do a search on http://www.woodworkingshop.com/ for "hook and loop pads"; this will be the last item on the list. It's called a 5" X 1/8" FLEX HAND PAD/H&L (H&L is hook and loop).

Doug,
Page 2:
In my wanderings I found another abralon source AND, Ta-daaaaa! a 6" "Hook and Loop Interface pad". I guess a 6" one is better than the above 5" one?
Plus there's more pads. They seem to start off a little more expensive, but they exist!
FYI I find no problem just holding them with the palm of my hand, as the have a good sized sponge pad backing the abrasive.

I can't speak for starter kits, but for the Abralon Pads themselves, I've read that they are available from .... gilaz33 .... for $3.00 each "shipped". Here is a recent link on this.

Yup, that's the guy. Great price!
Only time I've ever seen it cheaper was when I bought a whole box from Ebay.

Anyone tried the abralon pads from Ebonite? Pricey or...?

That price is VERY high. Ebonite's Abralon have to still be made by the manufacturer, Mirka. Pretty sure it's patented.
