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.

didn't y'all see that recent thread re: this exact same subject regarding flattening warped records with a hot T-shirt press... The originator went into great detail about his various techniques. Another poster chimed in stating that the sun & glass method is practically an ancient ritual; lots of good info. on that thread.

Once again proves the old adage "nothing new under the sun"
