Perhaps. Don't some of you guys melt your discs to fix them if they're gashed? Maybe you heated one too much. What does it smell like?

The thread was doomed anyway. May as well ask a question I'm curious about.
Along the same line, I wonder what it smells like inside of a disc factory. Those things must stink pretty bad when they're still hot. Even when you buy them from the stores, they have a certain smell. Although discs also absorb odors wonderfully, so maybe it's more the shop you're smelling, not so much the plastic.

I've worked in a couple places that had injection-molding machines, though neither manufactured discs. Burnt plastic is not a pleasant smell at all. If the odor was strong (like you didn't have to be right next to the point of injection to smell it), it was always a sign of something not being right with one of the machines.
Oddly enough, now that I work in a disc golf shop, the only time I have ever smelled that burnt plastic smell related to discs was when I opened a shipment from Vibram. Odd, of course, because nothing in the box was made of plastic.
I eat lost discs.
I came here to post eat them. you win'

Cut them in half, grab some gorilla glue, and play Dr. Frankenstein. Just think you could have a Stilledator, Trestroyer, Wizaviar, Teedent, Valkatchet, Verdrone.... Hehe. That was fun!!
At first glance I thought that Aim For The Chains's avatar was some dude humping the ground. Now I'm kind of wishing that it was...

my buddy works in a plastics factory 50+ hours per week... he says two things:
"it toxic in there man"
and
"I'm looking for another job"
any factory is bad but plastics is just nasty toxic

Where were you when I needed you about 4 months ago for pond diving?
Hey now everyone, lets all be mature here and keep this thread derailed.

Finders keepers!!!!! I know as disc poor as I am no name and number equals MINE. Or just blow some up, it is fireworks time after all. Tape a good one on, light it, let it fly and watch it go up in smoke.

I've been in the local shop after they restocked the Vibram section and it smells like a shoe store. No joke. All that rubber smells like a bunch of new shoes.
If you can't reach the person who owns the disc for over a month I would support giving it to someone that can't afford to purchase their own or keeping it yourself.

Proper etiquette? I'd think dinner and a movie as a minimum before you take the discs home.

Yes, the drinks will help as you soothe and try to reassure them that it wasn't their fault they got lost (except for tie-dye discs; it's ALWAYS their fault).
