How best to eliminate LP warps

mijostyn:

Thinking about it more it might be better to centrally locate the glass plates in a box with cardboard spacers (cardboard box with a top) and then wrap the box with the heating blanket.

This way the heat would be more evenly distributed.

I assume that many here may have digital thermometers with long wire leads for oven/grill cooking which could be used to monitor temp.

As already mentioned, lower temperature and additional time would seem to be the way to go, especially with DIY methods.

When I tried the glass oven method the oven used would maintain heat @ around 135-140 degrees (not any lower).

Doing so made the edge warp worse on a Pearl issue the "The Last Castrato".

I purchased another copy on line and it has a similar edge warp.

I only wanted to listen to it out of curiosity, so left it @ that (could not listen to the first cut on either side, and on the baked LP the first 2 cuts).

@edcyn 

Such cheap shot without any explanation.

Sad. Whatever floats your boat I guess. Sad again.

SO, who here that have excellent TT/arm/cartridge can actually say that when they play an average warped LP that they can actually HEAR manifestations of the warp?

@jw944ts, having vacuum clamping, minor warps are not a problem for me. The warps I need to flatten are the major ones and they are easy to hear. Many arms will be airborne off these warps. The Schroder will track just about anything and once you are use to extreme pitch stability these warps become obvious. Minor warping may not be so obvious. My problem is that when the warps get bad enough the vacuum can not grab a seal.
