Bill, I'll only add a little to what Gary and Grayfox have already said. I'm assuming that you don't have a recoil pad jig. It wouldn't be worth it for one pad anyway. If I were installing one for the first time without a jig I would use a disc sander and get no closer than 1/16" to the stock. At that point I would wrap with two thicknesses of tape as Grayfox suggested and finish with a sharp file and abrasive strips.
