Flat vinyl records... Please chip-in to insite!

Hi I've recently unwarped to the perfect flatness records that were brutally warped under the direct sun light shining onto the end-table glass. Without direct sunlight it's not happening. Can anyone recommend the bulb that has similar qualities as sunlight that can blast heat of approximately 40...45 Celcius or 98...105F?

I tried oven. 
Direct sunlight between 11am and 3pm works best even at lower temperatures.

Well, when there’s 95+F outside, the contact temperature of surface is about 120...130F.

My oven doesn’t have that low of a setting so what I do is to get it to minimum possible (185f) and than cool it to 160 before I slide record in.

The other method I've been using is ironing via cloth.

Actually i must agree with bdp AND wart. 
I was trying to void spending 4 figures, but VinylFlat would be indeed great professional tool.
