They have a dye layer INSIDE the disc, and it is actually closest to
the NON-record side.

The dye isn't affected. Any impingements made on the dye layer by a
laser will relax, rendering them as zeros, when heated to a certain
point.

The wax NEVER touched said dye layer. HEAT is the problem. The
record layer is SEALED inside the disc.
