EPG400 Power Sponge

[Rossi46]

I’m looking for one if anyone has one they don’t use? Willing to pay a decent price for one that’s in good order.

Thanks

If you need it with sponge only I’ll go for rokamat or similar. The epg can get a bit heavy after while

Is that the backpack one?

It is just for sponging really. Have you used the diamond float much with yours?

Scrape and sponge mostly. Diamond float is perfect for compression, but if timing is wrong it digs in.

Too pricey for me that. I’d rather take the weight of the eibenstock

@vfr12 Yanno when you buy a sponge. Does it come with the plastic disc that holds the velcro part of the sponge? I’m looking at buying an EPG but it’s only been used to scratch back mono. Doesn’t have any sponge kit with it. It’s not clear on websites what you get when you buy a sponge. A sponge on its own is useless because there would be nothing to stick it to.

No mate , you’ll get the sponge only! How much is the disc btw?

The ones on eBay are about £40-50. But some are £20. I’m hoping the ones that are £20 are sponge only and the more expensive ones are the ones with the plastic attachment pad.

Put up the links! There are different types of sponges mate, I think the disks are separate?

[vfr12]

Did you get powerfloat? You should have the disk ?

Damn! Can’t beleive there isn’t a backing plate for sale. Velcro parts wear out

Not got it yet. Been offered it for decent money from a fella local to me. He bought it with the scratch pads setup.

Just buy Velcro and cut It to size. One of my sponges was missing one and I had to improvise. Much better than the ones refina is using.

For scratch pads I use normal replacements, cut in half.

It would only be for s&c or ocr. Not into mono.

Do you have the diamond disc? You can adopt one if you have two? If it’s one- no point.

Not sure yet. Will go and see him tomorrow.
I can get one of those backing plates from France. £30. I’ll ring Refina tomorrow and check the particulars on the sponges they sell

 

[Rossi46]

Thanks for all the info though mate. You’re a good’n

I have a PFT Filzomat for sale. Comes with power blades which is ideal for ewi and power scratch disc for breaking rock hard mono.

£220 no offers and in Sheffield.
