The glue can also gum things up and, allegedly even soak into the disk and damage your data.
And I just was taught another lesson: I discovered through trial and error that certain DVD players/burners can make the DVD very warm. The problem I discovered was that the DVD's polycarbonate would expand slightly, but the paper label wouldn't. I started getting errors because the DVDs were literally "cupping" ever so slightly -- I could physically see it when I set the DVD down on a flat surface. After the DVD cooled down it was flat again, and when the player was cool the errors would stop.
