Funny disk?
Not near as funny as the answerers you guys are giving.
I took an APV block outside, lit up a propane torch, burned the paint off
the block at and around and on the disk..
The disk didn't drop off, shrink, melt.
I finally took a wood chisel and chiseled it off.
I then took the disk in the house and held it over the gas flame on my
kitchen stove, the glue didn't melt, or flame up, the disk didn't melt,
the disk didn't yell for help. The rest of the paint burned off of it and
I dropped it in some water and I finally got a reply ..................
sizzle!
Disk still in tact, glue still in tact and if this disk is anything
relating to heat it has to be a fever you guys are running.

Anybody want this disk for your own tests? Put $1.00 in my PayPal account
and you can prove me a liar when you get the disk in the mail.
