Laser mast disc anyone?

Hi there, how about these laser mast discs (teflon) to protect the mast bottom of the boat? Any users here? How many discs should you use? I read somewhere you can use one and some sites say you need 3 of them,. Thanks all!!
 
Can't legally have more than one disc, and not more than 1 mm thick.

I've used the PROtect disc but don't know if it really works that well. Dirt seems to find its way down there anyway, and some even gets stuck to the disc, which means friction may actually increase. It's no substitute for rinsing the mast step regularly and seeing to that the mast foot is reasonably clean every time you step it.

I tried one years ago but got rid of it because of the dirt issue already pointed out by LaLi.
I also use the other precautions mentioned above.
 
I like the stainless steel discs but it doesnt look like they available anymore. Cementing the disc to the boat is essential as is keeping sand away.
