- 2). Submerge the cut disc in a saturated solution of water and lye, wearing protective gloves and a face mask. The lye solution will dissolve other metals in the hard drive and become very hot when it first comes in contact with the disc.
- 3). Discard the liquid, leaving behind platinum from the hard drive.
