If its not too rare and you feel confident, microwave for between 10 & 15 seconds, then place on a flat surface and cover with a pile of albums or books, leave it for at least a few hours.

I just did the same with my spare but slightly warped copy of Gerri Diamond 'Only You' and the warp is barely recognisable now!

Dont overcook it, the label will peel!

cheers

would this work when a record has more of 'bubble' than a warp....my joe jama is otherwise mint but i'm shit scared of wrecking it...the bubble is near the intro and causes it to jump even when there is a bit more weight on the needle...

:unsure:

Allright peeps, I've gone and done it! I offered one of the wife's singles to the cause and I've just put it under a pile of books after the microwave treatement. This better work or I'm dead. Watch this space...

Well, after tests...my advice is this:

If your record is warped a little then leave it.

If its warped a lot...then buy a new one.

Now we know...and I need to hide from the wife :thumbsup:

Dead cert as follows.... put disc between 2 pieces of 10" x 10" x 8mm thk plexi glass or polycarbonate. Clamp edges using wooden battons. Stick out in sun for a couple of hours. Bring in leave clamped, and allow to cool right down slowly.... Presto, good as new, this will take out serious warps most of the time

Ahhh but remember Andy we live in the UK, sun and good weather is often hard to find, moreso in the wee highlands of bonny Scotland where fiends like the Gasher put up with warped record cos they're too bloloody tight to but flat ones :thumbsup:

By the way PM me about the Universals, had no luck elsewhere :unsure:

EASY NOW..

DID YOU KNOW COPPER WIRE WAS INVENTED BY TWO ABERDONIANS FIGHTING OVER A PENNY??

WHEN I DROP A COIN I BEND DOWN TO PICK IT UP AGAIN

SO FAST IT HITS ME ON THE BACK OF THE HEAD.

THE GASHER..TIGHT AS A DUCKS ARSE

BUT AS MOIST AS AN OTTERS POCKET.

WARPED ONES ARE MORE FUN..

Alternativly you could purchase a flat hot plate from a Brewing shop and place the Record between the glass onto the hot plate. My dad used to have one for keeping his demijons warm...... :thumbsup:
