Hi Richard and Frank:

Richard - thanks for being considerate in trying to clarify so others
were not confused. My comments were before Frank clarified if the PVC
was on both sides on the envelope or just on one side (top side). I was
not implying to consider resurfacing the top layer of a CD to remove the
PVC layer. I meant that I didn't recommend resurfacing the bottom side
to remove PVC if the sleeve happened to be PVC on both sides or the
disks were stored with the data layer against the PVC.

The RTI machines are designed to mill down existing layers of a CD or
DVD disk surface to remove surface scratches and blemishes of the
existing data side of the disk, not to remove foreign particles or
matter, or to mill down the topside of a disk. My experience with these
machines, foreign particles clog the sanding pads as the disk is being
resurfaced and further gouge the disk surface.

Haze or other air contaminates can be removed without issue as they have
no mass. At one time, I received a large collection of CD's from an
office, where the CD's were stored in a jukebox type player in the same
room where the carpeting had been replaced. The new carpet out-gasses
contaminated the CD's with a haze that made them unplayable. The haze
was easily removed from the bottom data layer of the CD's with the RTI
machine in the least aggressive polish mode.

If a blown heat or hot water source cannot remove the PVC on the top
side of a disk, I recommend trying to carefully trim the outer edge and
middle hole of the disk (if the PVC is welded securely on the top
portion of the disk) and seeing if it will play so you can remove the
data from the disk. Balance is KEY here and if the disk is even slightly
out of balance from the addition of the PVC layer, either the disk or
the drive can suffer catastrophic damage. So only try this with a disk
you are willing to loose in a drive you are willing to loose.

Frank, please let me know how you make out.

Kind Regards,

John Schroth
