Try "Don't Do It".

Back in the dawn of time, before printable labels came on the disc, I used
glossy stick-ons for my movies. This was A Bad Idea. After varying periods
of time the glue ate the discs making them unreadable. Had to replace the

Thank you. Lightscribe takes so long to use, and the graphics/text are
not that great on the CDs I purchased. I had never thought of using a
