Howdy folks..
You know when you buy a spindle pack of blank CDs or DVDs you usually get those dummy CDs that are transparent? That is what i'm after.
Any ideas where i can get these dummy CDs? - I need them for a project and i'm drilling 32mm holes through them. I don't really want to use real CDs because the silver stuff will get everywhere.
Thanks
7up

Good question, I usually throw them away myself.
Maybe it would be worth posting a WANTED request in your local Freecycle Group, you're bound to get plenty of people offer you them. Failing that maybe contact Verbatim or some other disc manufacturer and ask nicely.

It;s a bit of work, but if you soak cd's/dvd's in water with a little vinegar added you'll find that the silver (or other coloured backing) will come off. Overnight soaking is best. As for getting hold of some cd's that are no good, troll round car boots etc. for those 'freebies' that used to come through post advertising all sorts of stuff from internet packages to shareware progs.
Turps or ink removal stuff gets rid of the writing etc. on the front of the disk.
Growing old is inevitable...But growing up is optional.

The OP is after the clear ones which are nothing more than the protection layer on the top and the bottom of a cake tub.
That's why he doesn't want to use normal discs because when he drills them it will make a mess.

My mistake, sorry!
I was reading it from my emails and had quite a few as usual. I seem to get all the edited posts which gets confusing.

This is a bug I am having Lithium look into at the moment. Apologies for this.

Does that Lithium bug also effect billing? Since I signed up to Plusnet 2 or 3 years ago I always get 2 x Bill Notifications and 2 x Referral Discount Notifications. Good job they're not printed on paper...

Might I suggest an upgrade to XenForo? It works a hell of a lot better than lithium, much more user-friendly and doesn't have this annoying quote thing that inserts lines and blank spaces that muck up the replies...

@7up all I did was use Google to search for what you actually wanted which in this case was "clear plastic discs" and it was the top result
