I know this has been covered before, but I couldn't find it in a search.

I managed to taco one of my 3x Aviar X is a fit of rage,
is it fixable? or am stuck with a bent disc.

TIA

Take some hot sauce, rub it on the edge of the disc and hold it between your teeth for about 40 seconds. After the slobber starts down your chin, take the disc out of your mouth and ask yourself "man, does getting that [I'm a potty-mouth!] off at a missed shot really worth damaging this awesome disc?" Then, take the disc, put it upside down and fill it with water. Put your oven on the lowest possible setting and preheat a pie pan with enough water on the bottom of the pie pan as to not burn the disc. After it is preheated, put the disc filled with water into the pie pan and put it all back in the oven. Check on it every five minutes or less. Pull out the disc, work the edges, fill back with water, put back in pie pan... etc... until to your liking.

Next time, make the putt ! :cool:

What not to do....don't put a dx disc in a pot of boiling water then dump a whole crap load of change on top of it to make sure it stays flat. Then turn the burner on hi and leave it unattened for a good 20 minutes. My friend and I were trying to flatten discs and we basically permanently burnt this dx valk to the bottom of the pan. We couldn't even get it off of the pan. parents weren't to happy about that one......what did work for us was boiling discs(without change ontop of them) then taking them out after their good and soft and put book on them to flatten them off and after awhile of sitting and cooling they were flat as can be. I assume this would work for your situation.

With DX and Proline you are almost all but out of luck...there are ways to help repair it, but those plastics just plain don't have the elastic memory to retain a given shape.

Since JK Aviars are fairly soft, you might just try turning it upside down and filling it with very hot water and setting in on something very flat. or leave it in a car with the windows rolled up on the dashboard or by the rear window for a few hours on a sunny day and then place something flat underneathe it and something heavy enough to weigh it down for a few more hours without overly crushing it.

then dip it in cool water for a few hours to hopefully freeze it flat

i recommend apologizing to it too. JK Aviars deserve respect :D

Just throw it again and hit a tree on the exact opposite spot and cause an equal amount of damage and let it balance itself out.

1. Turn upside down.
2. Fill with water.
3. Microwave until soft.

I've done the boiling water in it upside down (for about 5-10 min). I've also left it on the dash of the car with a heavy book over it; it will gum up a bit in the car though, but if it's a putter, that's probably a good thing.

or you can pony up some cash and just buy a new disc.

(sorry, it's a pet peeve of mine ... a friend of mine has keep his putter in his car for two years. It's melted from the heat dozens of times. It doesn't fly well, but he won't replace it)

If it's a dead disc, replace it!!!!!!!

leave some 10lb weights from the gym on top of the disc on a flat surface for sometime, usually will help

I found that the follow works with the zplastic/champ plastic

Put some water on the disc and stick it in the microwave for a while...

It fixed my challenger that was left in my car one hot day and got warped

I found an almost brand new dyed Orc and put it in my car (no ID). I failed to realize I set it in a lunch box sized ice chest. I proceeded to set a row of about ten discs on it to cause it to bend like so U. Left for days. I took the disc and set it in a stack of Orcs and it turned out fine. Slightly less stable than one would hope. But fine.
