Hi folks! Awesome site and awesome people in here!

I've got a couple of CD-R plates, which are damaged. The "silver folio" on the backside are damaged, and the damage is close to the center. OFFCOURSE!

Does anyone have any trix how to "re-coat" or repair these holes.

Have a nice day, and a "Melly X-mas!" :idea:

Toothpaste ran across the surface has worked in the past. Also they make some commercial CD buffers that have also worked in the past.

As the data is recorded nearby the foil on the dye, there will be no way to get the data back. Perhaps a data recovery firm, but I even doubt that.
