Are Souri's Blanks really Black?

[opcode66]

There has been some discussion here if the discs that Souri sells are actually black or clear layers sandwiched together with a black layer.

People have posted pictures or links to the man cutting a black disc and pulling out chip/swarf that looks white or clear in color. This has been used as proof that the discs are layered.

He cut me a demo disc almost two years ago. It did not appear sandwiched. I looked to be a solid black disc.

I have black Makrolon discs that I've been cutting from Bayer. It is a black piece of plastic. Not sandwiched. The chip comes off white or sort of clear looking. So, the conjecture that his discs are sandwiched is not proved via the color of the chip/swarf. Mine is coming off clear on a black piece of plastic.

Just thought you all might be interested.

Thanks opcode, Still would love to know if these were specially formulated or if this material is a product already available from one of the plastic manufacturers.

bayer always does that opcode. the surfaces are always clear "plastic"to get that polished look. i called them up a couple of years ago and one of the guys at bayer told me they do that for all colored sheets.
