It waited 31 years just for me to do this.

    Does this damage the label or data side?

      The damage was done from label side, however with CDs there’s just a thin lacquer layer below the label and that’s it.

      Which is why you also shouldn’t write onto CDs with permanent markers.

      DVDs on the other hand have a relatively thick plastic layer on top, offering fairly good protection.

        Can’t CDs also have two layers of plastic? I thought it was just cheap CDs that printed the label directly onto the data layer.
