Default Disc Rotor Refurb?

A new 6" rotor is only about twenty bucks, but I've accumulated a

Tried boiling in water for awhile on the latest one, but no
change.

I thought sand blasting for a moment, and then it seemed like
that would be asking for irregularities in thickness.

Anybody got a tried-and-true method of refurbishing a rotor that
doesn't require a machine shop?


No, but if you want to degrease use washing soda or caustic soda.
Dont ever use with aluminium unless you keep the contact time short.
