Abstract

A method for refinishing rigid data storage discs for recoating including the steps of removing a magnetically alterable coating and its sub-interfacing material from rigid data storage discs to expose disc substrates, inspecting the substrate for surface discontinuities, measuring the thickness and flatness of the substrates, resurfacing the surfaces of the substrates to remove surface unevenness and surface discontinuities, polishing the surfaces of the substrates to produce a visually mar-free flat substrates, and rinsing and drying the substrate before recoating.
