DVD spine fusing?

Pirate · 05-06-2005, 05:32 PM

Forgive me if this has been posted, but has anyone had this problem? Sometimes when I get a new DVD, Like Phantom of the Opera, when I take the plastic wrap off, some of it sticks to the spine and I can’t get it off. It almost seems like it's been heated and fused on. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks

Happens all the time to me also. Haven't figured out how to cure it yet though.

I hate it. There has to be a better way.

Happens to all of us eventually (I found this to be a bigger problem with video game titles). Sometimes I use an X-Acto knife to scrape off the remnants (with moderate success), otherwise, I just wait for a replacement keepcase to come along.

A razor blade is useful also. Just don't cut yourself.

I've found it happens to some cases of mine. Usually it comes off eventually. Wait a little bit and it should come off.

I've had this happen me several times. I use a box cutter and that ususually gets it off. I don't know what causes it though.

Well, there IS the option of simply leaving the DVD sealed.

Peace...
