I concur it works really well. If you’re worried about messing up the pads, just put a few small balls around the edge of the pad where there is painted gypsum. That way it will have mininum contact with the pad.
I have found no problem moving it. Just remember to twist as you lift and the seal should be broken just fine.
Here is a demo/instruction video:

Use the putty, but steer away from the “gel” (clear) because it might soak into the pad. The regular white putty should be fine though.
