Stripping

I have poured water on my 2nd hand CDs to test out absorbancy before actual use and on a couple of them the water just balls up like on a freshly waxed car. I assume this means that I need to strip. I tried hand washing them with some blue Dawn but it didn't improve them much. Should I just do this again or is there another technique I should try? One is a BG 3.0 and one is a Thirsties if that makes any difference.

    I just had to do major stripping after our washer failure.  Boiling was my last resort, but you could also try bleach.  I'd suggest line drying after bleach, it'll get rid of the chlorine smell, plus it's great for CDs.

    I would not spend a lot of time stripping them until you have tried them to see if they are actually repelling. They might work just fine on.  I have heard a lot of people say the pouring water test doesn't actually work very well, especially if you don't have some force behind the water. 

    Also, boiling can work, but personally I would not boil anything with PUL.  I have boiled inserts to help with stink, but boiling the PUL outer could mess with the waterproofing.

    Oh, no, don't boil PUL. I should've been more specific.  I was thinking about inserts repelling.
