Pouring a bit of the boiling water into the bowl before placing the disc might help in increasing the dome further. The boiling water will heat up the air inside the bowl which in turn expands the air. Once the disc is placed on top and the air cools down it'll create a slight vacuum which should pull the dome out more. You actually already experienced this effect when the disc was "glued" to the bowl in the morning. Another idea could be to use the same technique that is used in "cupping therapy". Same principle but it'd take this another step further. Might have to test this myself now :D
I’m aware as it was clipped to my shirt during the video as well. I was holding it because I am the type of person that needs to be doing something with their hands when speaking.
Im over here sticking to mvp/axiom because of how consistent the runs are and how little they beat in. This mfer over here is speed running the break in process lmao Gotta say tho, pretty interested what some mvp molds would do with some dome. The majority of their molds are flat enough to cover it in maple syrup and call it breakfast
I've tried to make a domey putter flat/concaved with hot water and a 20lb weight left on it for a week. Great success... until it sat in my garage for a few days. Went right back to normal. I bet baseline plastic would work well, not so much with premium plastics. But maybe after multiple attempts it'd hold better 🤷
I will admit that I have been struggling to make the discs hold the dome for extended periods of time as well. You are probably onto something with the multiple attempts.
It will be hard to have a disc made of plastic hold a shape that it wasn’t originally molded into. Molded plastic will always want to revert back to its original dimensions as long as it’s not comprised from chips/breaks in the plastic.
PDGA RULES: Other modifications to a disc after production make the disc illegal, including but not limited to: Modifying the disc in a way that alters its original flight characteristics; Great way to get suspended.
