Is this legal to use on your discs?
I'd say no, because it modifies the flight characteristics, and I'm sure it leaves a film of detectable thickness.
I'm just curious what others think. We are having this debate on another forum I frequent.

Hey Fritzy!
Good question; I've wondered about that stuff too. I'd like to tag another question on to yours though. Aside from the legality of the stuff; has anybody tried this stuff? Does it work as advertised or is it just a gimmick?

This question has been somewhat answered under the Rule Question: Grip additives. Here it states that if it is used to assist in grip, without adding to the thickness then it is legal to use it, since a better grip is a safer grip. So as long as it does not add noticeable thickness, the next question to ask is if it changes the "original" flight characteristics of the disc. If it truely makes the disc fly further, when brand new, then I don't believe it is legal. On the other hand if it only gives the top surface a closer to original low friction finish, then I believe it is.
As the advertisement reads, I believe it is illegal. If they restated that the product restored the original finish prolonging life of the disc and distance, then I think it can be argued as OK.

i agree with jerry!!! i can almost bet that the manufacturer just uses that for marketing but if they were smart they would have understood the verbage to use!!!!! but i havent heard of this stuff or its performance charicteristics....hopefully its good!!!!!

...and yet nearly all recent distance records have been with DX plastic...likely due to its 'roughness' yielding more glide.

sight unseen, sounds illegal due to detectable thickness as mentioned above.
wonder if mr zogs makes it.
