      My discs decide for themselves when it is time to fly away forever. Some believe it is to the great blackberry patch, whereas other creeds espouse the partly-complete crossing of the River Styx. And then there are the Frisbeeterians who, when they leave us, achieve a higher level of being, such as a rooftop or very high tree branch.

    You should remove the barcode label from underneath the grey disc. That's 1g at the perimeter causing imbalance, wobble.
    If it is stubborn glue (not water-based), get something like "Gunk off" or whatever it is called, to remove the glue residue.

    Being new to the disc dying process, I learned that some turn out great, some turn out really cool by accident, and a few dyes go horribly wrong with the light colors being completely overpowered from the darker dyes. Most of the time I am able to lighten it back up with a cloth, but sometimes it calls for drastic measures and that involves hot dipping in the lightest and brightest color dye I have, which is usually a bright yellow.
    In one particularly stubborn case I put the disc in at 130 degrees farenheight, 5 degrees less than the 135 degree reommended threshhold, and left it in the dye overnight. It wasn't a complete success, but my chances of being able to find it have dramatically improved.
    Here's the thing... the disc is now noticeably more stable and absolutely perfect for slight to moderate headwinds (Woohoo!), so does that mean it is no longer a legal disc? All I did was hot dip the disc like countless others, including some manufacturers have done, all the time? If using hot water the alter the shape of a warped disc is ok, then unknowingly returning a disc to a previously more stable state should be well within the spirit of the rules, as well... right?

    Keep a spray bottle with soapy water by the sink. Cheap spray bottle works, but for just a few dollars more a "pro" spray bottle is a pleasure to use and stays primed, so you get spray on the first pump even after it has not been used for a while. Spritz the dirty discs, clean up with dish sponge, rinse with warm water. Very fast once set up. Soap spray works on glasses, lots of other things too.

      @Latitude64  3 года назад +1

      We used 180 grid I think. This was my first time trying this but I'd say go finer and work yourself downwards rather than the opposite. But 180 felt good. I guess I'd say that's a fine sandpaper :) /Jonathan

      220g or 320g work pretty well too. 180g is as low as I'd go unless you want to do some serious material removal

    So here's a question:
    I lost my destroyer a couple months ago in the woods of my local course. I recently got contacted by someone who found it, AT THE BEACH, 45 minutes away!
    The disc now has scratches all over the top of it from being in the sand presumably for days if not weeks.
    How do I fix this?

    Does a disc being over max PDGA weight count as a molding imperfection? Would moderately sanding away the excess weight be allowed?

      That's a great question. Let me get back to you about this. /Jonathan

    • @Latitude64
      @Latitude64  3 года назад

      I had Johannes help me with this:
      "Depends. Can you spot an apparent molding imperfection? If not, then the safe answer is no. You could send the question straight to PDGA and hear what they have to say about it.
      Overweight discs should never leave the disc golf factory though. We weight every single disc to make sure of that."

      @@Latitude64 I know from your video showing your factory, your quality control is GUARANTEED higher than Innova or Prodigy. But I like those discs too. Anyway, if I get them scraped up from using, and they need to have the sharp edges sanded down to make it safe to hold, that's what I did. I hope that's fine.

      Johannes helped me with this one:
      "Most probably. Leaving a disc outside and exposed to the elements of nature is never a good thing. A day or two outside shouldn't matter that much. Premium plastic (like Opto and Gold) is very durable. But a couple months will probably be noticeable."

    • @kimmomatikainen1843
      @kimmomatikainen1843 3 года назад +2

      I have found out that one of the problems with storing discs flat on the table on a stack is that discs are different size and I think it can cause warping. Should work if discs are not warped and they are the same size or very close to same size.
      Hopefully L64 guys will reply. They probably know better.

    • @Latitude64
      @Latitude64  3 года назад +1

      Johannes helped me out with this:
      Yes, both come with different challenges though. Vertically on a rack: Keep them upright. Don't cram in too many discs.
      Flat on table or shelf: Don't make the piles too high, 25-30 discs a pile is probably a good max reference point. Preferably separate the piles depending on disc diameter. Easiest way to think is to separate the piles in distance drivers, fairway drivers, midranges and putters.

      I´m no expert. I´ve heard people doing this. I´d do it the old fashion way tho. As a dish washer may get too warm and that might warp the disc. But on a low heat then it should work fine :). /Jonathan

  • @dmennenoh
    @dmennenoh 2 года назад +2

    Great video! Question though - you guys said to store them flat, stacked up. But then everyone else's storage you showed had them on edge. And all the disc golf shops have them on edge for easier browsing. Is that a bad way to store them? Can they deform under their own weight if stored on edge too long?

    • @Sayame1
      @Sayame1 Год назад +1

      I believe this was just depending on how you store them. The example in the bag was showing them shoved way too tightly together and the tension on the discs causes the warping. I believe they meant as long as the discs are neatly stored and not put into awkward angles it is okay - the examples all show very loose rows with the discs having some wiggle room.
      Yes, very late reply but maybe new viewers will see it~
