Would using using clear nail polish to fix scratches on PS 2 games work?




Tim


That idea came to me the other day, just wondering if anyone has tried it? I have about 10 games that are scratched that won't play at all.


Answer
Absolutely not. A scratch on the clear side of the disc causes errors because the laser beam is no longer able to travel in a straight line through the clear plastic, bounce off the reflective layer, and back out. The nail polish isn't optically clear and would bend the laser in a way that would make the data unreadable. A scratch on the label side of the disc causes errors because it damages the reflective aluminum layer that bounces the laser beam back out. Clear polish can't replace that aluminum and might damage the disc more.

is there a way to get nail polish remover off a video game disk?

also i tried every trick in the book
but the nail polish remover is the problem it messed it up in the first place am i suppose to use it again?



Answer
Try using nail polish remover. I would test it on a blank DVD disk first just to make sure that it doesn't melt the plastic. I know chloroform will melt plastic.
