Occasionally my discs will hit a rock, fence, or metal sign. That causes a deep scrape or gouge in the disc. Sanding does too little for the indentations, and it does too much to the frayed edges and burrs that occur. I'd rather not turn my disc into plastic dust. Another thread here mentioned filing as an alternative to sanding; but, that seems to be no more than a quicker way to loose plastic. Another way to treat these disc injuries is to soften the high spots of the scrape or gouge with a fine tip soldering gun and move that plastic into the recess. That would result in a disc that is more like was. A disc that is still dented and bumpy, but lighter, is not a happy disc.
The rules concerning disc modifications present a number of problems which understandably have resulted in widespread disregard for their expressed terms. The question I have here is more interested in players' thinking about reasonable alternatives to sanding than it is about how the rules might be strictly or loosely applied.
