The trick is to control the heat. I purchased two pieces of plate glass 13" on a side so it is slightly larger than the LP. I preheat my convection oven on it's lowest setting (200 degrees). Place the record between the glass pieces and place in oven. Watch closely and rotate position at least once to insure even heating. Result - flat record.
Un-WARP your records
Today was very sunny and hot...as I was peeling off my clothes I got to thinking...hey, it's so damn HOT...why not try an experiment!!
Items used for this experiment:
- picture frame
- round 1/4 inch glass table top (the heavier the better)
- suntan lotion
- cold beer
After baking in the sun for three hours the warps were GONE!! The record was completely FLAT!!
Do this with a cheap record first, don't attempt this with your prized ones. I didn't get the chance to spin the record because I wanted to let the vinyl cool down first. I will post my findings and let you know if the experiment was a success.
