what temperature setting for how long?


I've bought a few lp's on ebay, with mostly bad results, but thought this one was more interesting than most. I bought a "sealed" lp of Chopin polonaises from christofori 383, which came pretty warped. I told him about the problem. He responded the same day, saying that (1) since it was sealed he could not know it was warped (seems reasonable) and (2) I should put it in an oven set low for a few minutes (did not say how low or for how long - I guess these recipes necessarily vary according to the strength of the ingredients). My question is what temperature setting for how long do you recommend for Chopin, and how many times do you baste?

A.P.'s too busy making love to his Korean preamps to bother with these forums, unless someone mentions Natalie Portman...now watch, he's bound to show up.

The only reason I'm thinking Dry mount press is that it has the pressure and heat built in. I think it's a good idea to maintain some pressure (hence the weighted platten) as the plastic cools or the rapid temperature change could cause warping in itself, no? I guess if others have had success with the glass sandwich perhaps not. The Seal Release paper is only a theory on my part, but it is designed to not stick to anything and withstand prolonged heating. You're right, if anyone's tried this technique it'd be Albert. Lets see if the Portman technique will lure him in!
I was walking by my computer and swear I heard someone whisper, "Natalie Portman"
You see what I mean, it's like the "open sesame" of A.P.!? My Blueberry Nights....Natalie with who other than Norah, come away with me, Jones. My oh my! What did you think, Albert? I haven't seen it yet, but the preview was worth watching just for Natalie! Is the movie really worth a rental? We just watched, "Boy A" - genius! That kid is going places!! Really, check it out.

One critic of Blueberry Nights noted that Natalie "stuffed her bra" so she could fit her trashy image for the movie. I say that's better to "play" the role rather than having breast enlargement in real life like most of the Hollywood types.

I don't know for sure, but I believe Natalie is a real person, well educated and very intelligent, not to mention her beauty.
