[Question] Star Metal Flake Destroyer?

[deft]

Ok this was way harder than it needed to be but hopefully they work;

I have an identical looking disc, 170 purple destroyer

These are all pictures of the same disc just different lighting situations which is throwing the color off. As you can see, finally, little square shinny flakes are scattered in the plastic. No where near what is usually seen in champ mf but they are pretty evenly spaced.

With that level of sparkles, I'd guess it was what you suspected at the beginning and some of the sparkle/MF material was leftover in the mold when they were transitioning from champ to Star plastic. It's not enough sparkles to have been intentionally added in my opinion, so probably just a transition effect.

I have seen occasional discs like that. Same thing happens when they switch colors or plastics. Champ-star transition is some great feeling stuff.

Cool color and few flakes, but not nearly enough flakes to qualify it for TRUE MF star.

 

[zmannz1984]

Agreed.

Quick questions:

1. Is it only happening on glittery stamp Star discs?

2. Is it only on the top that you're seeing the effect?

My guess is that when they run the glittery foil, some of the glittery residue is being heated up and ingrained into the plastic, creating a "metal flake" look. If you're seeing the MF effect on the back, obviously this theory holds no water.

I agree it really isn't that much flake and probably was not intentional just kind of fun.

Stardoggy, it is on the top, bottom, rim, and all over at varying depths to the surface. Must have just been some residuals in the mold or something between runs.

I have the same disc...purple McBeth Star Destroyer, 175g. It's my go-to distance driver at the moment. Beat in just right! I found this thread because I was I was wanting to buy more like this. Guess I'll just email Innova.
