YWMV.  (Your words may vary)  Whatever he called it, you don't want to
put any kind of writing on the bottom of the CD.  That's pretty much

I haven't done hundreds of disks, but I've reused dozens and the
ordinary rubbing alcohol I use to clean off whatever marker I used has
never attacked the substrate.
