Resurfacing Disc Damage?

no

FYI label-side damage is much worse than play-side.

Never place your discs upside-down. It won't protect them, quite the opposite in fact.

This. Some discs seem to be more susceptible to it than others, I think it has to do with the method the label is printed on. But if you have scratches going through the label side of the disc than it's likely the data itself has been damaged. No amount of resurfacing will fix the problem, unfortunately.

This is mainly for CDs.
It's not as bad with DVDs, and Bluray data pits was so close to the surface they had to engineer a proprietary scratch resistant surface coating to protect it.

Yeah, the shit you burnt. Just burn it again.

It affects pressed discs too y'know?

A good check is when you hold a disc up to a light. If you can see little holes in the metal part of the disc where light clearly shines through then the disc is fucked. I've had discs that were scratched to shit but the data portion was intact, a good buffing can usually fix this if not improve it. Conversely I've seen discs that look fine at first glance but had a single bad gouge on the top of the disc which made it unplayable and irreparable.

Now they could go to shit in a year, but I have some Sega Mega CD-Rs (manufactured by Taiyo Yuuden) from the early 90s obviously and they still look great. No pinholes, dye still looks great, and last I checked booted up quickly and played fine.

Cool story bro

I guess Sega fell for it, then? They were the makers of the official development CD-Rs for the Sega/Mega CD, so they would've been produced in the early 90s, some of the oldest CD-Rs out there.

I have an original copy of the original DUNE for MS-DOS, the game is only about 10 MB or so and hardly takes up any space on the CD. There is actual damage to the foil UNDER the printed label but the CD works fine because it's nowhere near the data part of the disc. Totally weird, never seen anything like it before.

of course he's a lier

Its not the data, its the reflective surface. The data is in the middle of the plastic.
