Front/Back side collage to highlight the differences. Attachment: Alien-rot.jpg Julien That's what one of my copies of Kidisc looks like. Both sides though. Plays perfect though.

Isn't all rubbing alcohol for home use 70%? Are you saying I have to reject that and somehow find 80% which I've never seen on earth? I HAVE discovered 99.9% isopropyl, which is obviously too different and for another purpose.

How many discovisions do you even have??? You can even use denatured alcohol, I've posted that before but don't know which topic. While its cool to find dead sides I've never had any luck making money off of it just a lot of working and elbow grease. Have fun.
