BTW, one time I had a CDR that had to be destroyed (it had client
proprietary info), so I set about seeing just how destructible CDRs
are. The answer is that they are very fragile -- if anything scratches
through the lacquer and metallic top, the whole top will flak
adily. The main areas of adhesion are at the hub and rim where
there is no dye layer -- the adhesion of the metallic film to the dye
is not strong at all.

The adhesives in most CD label systems are no water soluble, so you will
have a mess if you attempt to soak them off, since only the paper will
rub off, leaving gooey adhesive behind.
I have, on occasion, removed a label and repositioned or replaced it.
It takes careful even peeling. Unfortun

Here is some info I posted on another list, based on a recent workshop I
went on.
This was on the preservation of modern information carriers (optical and
magnetic media) run by two conservation scientists from the Canadian
Conservation Institute:

scientific archival testing (and obviously consulting with colleagues
worldwide) on CD's for the CCI, which was once part of the National Archives
of Canada, but is now an independent government funded setup.
