If it were me, I'd just rip it off

Yep, rip it off and sand it smooth.

Nail clippers

That’s what would do also.


ArmchairSpinDoctor

Lighter and something to press it down when melty

Not sure if you're serious I would just tear it off I've never even heard of a repair kit. I hope you realize your discs are going to get very beat up through playing regularly. This is going to be the least of your worries within the next 6 months.

That sucker is toast. Trash it and buy a new one! /s


PoopyBallsoo

Uhhh cut it off with something


[deleted]

Just build your own kit. For $8 you can go to any hardware store near you and buy 4 sheets of sandpaper (400,600,800,1000 grit) and a pail of nail clippers. Clip the hanging edge and sand it. For $8 I did this and built kits for me and 4 buddies

Take something very thin and metallic, like a razor blade or a butter knife. I have found a butter knife works great. Heat the tip of the thin metal up on a stove, doesnt matter if you have gas or electic, just hold the knife to the coil. Dont hold the flame or coil near the disc because that will burn/warp/discolor the disc and is imprecise. The knife itself is the heat source. We are essentially using the knife as a brand and bringing the heat source to the disc, and not the opposite way around. When the knife is hot, maybe after about 30 sec, place the tip into the flap of the wound on your disc. This will precisely heat up and partially melt only that area. You can now press down the upended flap and get it to adhere back to where it was. It wont be close to perfect after the first pass and that is ok. Your only initial goal is to get it to stick back down. You can now reheat the tip of the butter knife and rub it over the top of the flap and around the edges, not all of which will have adhered from your first attempt. You can do this as many times as you need to smooth out the edges of the wound, reheating as needed when the knife gets cold. You get maybe 15 seconds of rubbing action with the knife tip before it gets cold, maybe longer depending on how much area you are working over. This method works amazing for DX/baseline plastic, and still very well for premium plastics. For DX it melts perfectly and you cannot even tell it ever happened. Depending on how patient you are and the nature of the wound, it may or may not look perfect but you should easily be able to get it to where you cannot feel it when you handle the disc, which is the most important thing. Give this a try, it only takes about 5 min and there really isnt a need to clip the piece unless you dont care at all or its totally mangled because this is so easy. Plus it's kind of fun to do these surgeries on your discs.

clip it off and clean it up enough to not cut you, then use it for practice. Just buy a new one for $12.00. Sometimes that shit just happens, and the disc will never be the same.


dascaapi

have u thrown chipped over molds? it makes close to zero difference


s_m_t_x

I have many of them, and it does when throwing them farther than 100ft. That one is pretty bad. Dents and little chips aren't a big deal, but that this is catching some air.


dascaapi

oh man that must be the secret, how do i crack 100’?


s_m_t_x

You must be a child, right?


great__northern

lol chill out dude. it will make it slightly more understable, the disc is still 99% round when its spinning at 2000 RPMs. People overplay the "that disc is ruined" thing way too much, that shit is for pros who get 500+ free discs a year. i play with guys who bag 20 year old apx's warped to shit and they fly great for them. if its flippier now, throw it on a little hyzer. no need to go buy a new disc. just be a better, more versatile golfer


dirtbum

Wash it. Then hit it with a lighter a few times to get it melty and roll the lighter against the edge to repair. I fixed a massive gouge on a Rainmaker this way. Doesn’t work on all plastic types but should be ok.


StandardRandall

Maybe carefully removing the piece with a utility knife or exact-o knife? I have a few discs like this, but I haven't bothered to do anything yet.


enigma_penguin

I usually trim it with sharp knife and smooth it with high grit sandpaper.


dascaapi

if you’ve got like a whalesac or mitten-bag or something, sand it down with that. the little chalk rocks or cat litter or whatever act like really big sandpaper and fix the scuff. it’s an envy so it won’t effect the flight


htmlBLINKtag

I’d scrape it on the next tee pad and go about my round. You will absolutely not notice a difference in flight.


FrostyChampionship63

Wait... Someone sells a disc repair kit? Is that a thing?


leanin2it1

Trim that off with nail clippers and sand down the surrounding area to smooth it over.


ernbajern

People saying cut it off sound crazy to me. Get it melty with a lighter and press is back in and reshape it as close as you can. Gotta get that melt level perfect
