I read once that you can put discs in the oven at a real low temperature and it will flatten them back out in term making them overstable once again. I was wondering... first: if anyone knows what I'm talking about; second: how to do it; third: does it only work on certain molds?

First Off Ill start with telling you that its ILLEGAL to do. Not that anyone would know but its still illegal.

Here is how you do it though. Or how I have done it in the past. I fill my disc upside down and fill the underside with a little bit of water. Then I stick it in the Microwave and keep zapping it untill I get the desired flatness or whatever. It makes them a little more overstable but I pretty much used the technique to get them back to form after being tacoed really bad.

millz is a cheater j/k :D

Thats some funny ***** mills

I heard it was Legal because it's just like the heating and cooling process that happens in the factory, I could be mistaking though

If you are only trying to restore a disc to its original state when it left the factory (IE Sanding a scuff, bending a rim back in shape) its all good. Thus, Millz method would/should be AOK if you are trying to repair a taco'd disc.

At least thats the way I understand it...I could be wrong.

I've in the past fixed really badly warped discs by putting them in the oven for about 5 minutes...i've also never used said disc in pdga comp, just as experiments to see if it would go back to normal (btw, it made my 2nd run domey buzzz into a flat top)...

heat oven up to 225 degrees. turn it off. put it on top shelf for five minutes TOPS! keep checking it..

That's exactly what I'm trying to do, I bought a ROC and one of the first few throws went straight into a tree and then landed on black top and slid for about 50 ft worst taco or skid marks any of my discs have experienced

sounds like a nice seasoned roc to me. Don't mess with it

I already have 1 nice seasoned roc, I wanted one that will fade a bit at the end, but barely got a chance for it to

BEND THE NOSE UP

i lost a 1st run champion viking in a lake and had it returned a few months later only to notice it had become a FLAT_____ top and was very overstable. then i threw it in a river a few months later. :mad:

Polyethelene and polypropylene become molten at 180F. I learned from experience the hard way, working in a plastic reduction mill.

If I am fixing a taco'd candy disc I set the oven at 175F. That way you do not have to worry about melting any of the disc edges.

Yes it is legal to fix a taco'd disc.

It is illegal to make a domey disc flat once it leaves the factory, even if the dome is a cooling anomoly.

Thank you all for your help, hopefully I don't melt my disc, that would be bad
