don't burn them MICROWAVE them

Full power 10 seconds and then stick it back in the CD drive and try and read it.


Actually, having tried it tonight I can say that it takes a *lot* less than
10 seconds. The moment you see a flash, stop the microwave. It only takes
a fraction of a second and there's no burning smell. The metallic layer is
completely "crazed" the moment you see sparks.

yebbut its really far out man, if you leave them in a bit longer, with
the lights out after a couple if good bongs.
