The only good idea I've ever heard was to stick the record between two panes of glass, then lay the whole sandwich down flat in the oven and turn it on low for a little bit till it's squished flat again. If you do it carefully you can do it without ruining the grooves (apparantly)... probably a delicate process though.

people try this, or so i have heard, if its SO bad you cant play it at all anymore, or its worthless, I say be mean and sell it on ebay, or try the glass idea

I personnaly wouldn't do the glass thing. Unless toy put a towel or such like between the glass and record. What your looking for is the towel to go into and suppot the grooves while still putting pressure on the record.

I've previously heated up records and used the towel and books method to make them work.... in some cases... other to make them not work and infact be worse.


Btw love your sets CKYTEP.

Actually yes, I forgot about the towel part.

If the record is unplayable anyways... try it. What do you have to lose?

i heard 2 methods, leave it under a HUGE pile of books for weeks, months or years and over time it will flatten. or the more controversial method already mentioned
lay it between 2 panes of glass on a really warm summers day and the heat and weight will flatten it out, but leave it for too long and it will be fucked up worse, personally id try the first method. what vinyl is it anyway?

how badly warped is it?

i have the same prob with one of mine

Tiesto - Forever Today / Love Comes Again - the red one in the Just Be Vinyl pack...

special to me cus the only plce i can find that is on the internet and i found it at a record store this summer when it just came out...

anyways, its alittle bent at one part, still plays fine, its just not flat anymore...

kinda reluctant to try and bake a record flat
