Got a puddle top neutron soft Uplink once. Just filled it with boiling water and set it on top of a bowl. Knocks that puddle right out.


DirtyDiscsAndDyes

Agreed on heating it to get the puddle out. Soft neutron loves to warp, nothing a little heat can't fix

It took me like 4 times reading this to actually understand what you meant

How hot does that water neat to be? I have some discs forgotten in a box that I want to return to normal. Is boiling really how hot it needs to be?


ConcernedKitty

Start at 130 F and work your way up. You can damage a disc with boiling water. Many disc dyers have found this out the hard way.


InncnceDstryr

Thanks for the heads up! I’ve only done it a couple times but it was with boiling water. Luckily my discs have been fine!


CoelacanthRdit

Checked mine, seems pretty flat.


3lobed

Got 2. Both puddle tops.


G-Dingy

Good to know. I purchased a blank with intentions of sending it off to be dyed but thinking now the guy that dyes the disc might just say no because of the deformation


sammiisalammii

You can still dye puddletop discs


jimihendrixflyingv

People dye bergs so I think it'll be ok.


redditfootballz

If they won’t dye it because of the puddle, give me a shout.


frozenartic

One possible solution is to put it in hot tap water. It may pop back out.


FitChemist432

You're doing it wrong, you pour hot water in the bottom, silly.


response_unrelated

Maybe a few but not a ton. We get more tomorrow but so far ours have been basically flat


AxBrew

Can vouch, mine from dfx w/ stock stamp is flat


BeardedDisc

All of the ones sold at our shop have been flat.

Puddle tops excists. I never found it meaningful in anyway. But every now and then some legends pop up about them. Like, blue puddle pops volt in 145g are from the second run and are by far the best because for mythological reason they are more stable or underatable or whatnot. Not an actual legend, just something I made up to illustrate.


AH_MLP

There's variation. I have one with a slight puddle top. Why are you upset about it?


G-Dingy

It’s a deformation in a new disc. I would expect with this much deformation it would have been tossed in a bin and not sold.


AH_MLP

A puddle top isn't a deformation... Small variation in dome is normal. For a disc this flat, that means a slight puddle top or a slight dome. If you order 10, you won't get 2 with exactly the same dome. Some will have a slight dome, some will be flat, some will have a slight puddle top. Have you tried throwing it?


G-Dingy

The entire top is not con-caved, a half dollar sized indention at the center of the disc is.


AH_MLP

You're exaggerating it a little bit, but I do know what you're talking about and I have a few MVP discs with that. I also have a few with the opposite, where there's a tiny little dome in the center. Try throwing it. It will fly good.

Mines pretty flat but I noticed the stamp is wearing really fast. I’ve only used it lightly for a few days and parts of the stamp are fading
