I'm not picky any more. I've had both situations happen but the dis-bonded lining didn't ruin the drum.

I found an old car vendor that had an old roll of lining material, of course had asbestos in them. I riveted a set on and much improved stopping over my glazed bonded linings. Used brass rivets and my drums are off every year or so to pack the bearings. Rotorwrench, If your drums get scored it is because you used steel rivets and did not check your linings when/if you greased your bearings. JMHO
