 Coolness: 141590 | any pressure you apply to try and get it staightened out will also flatten out the grooves... bad news |

 Coolness: 167450 | w/ records like that you either use them experimentally for the warped wavy effect...or they go in the 'retired' bin :( |

 Coolness: 220875 | yea i've never successfully "fixed" a warped vinyl in 15 years...
they just keep getting worse haha i remember i got one that the hole wasn't punched out directly in the middle of the record, so while it played, the needle would sway left and right, and you could hear a pitch change up and down... |

 Coolness: 87410 | yup - what everybody else said. can't be fixed.
and not just heat will warp - cold, too years ago I left my flight case sitting open too close to the window - turned out to be the coldest night of the year to my horror, I found that the back 5 records in the crate closest to the window had all gone warped. they can still play but you certainly couldn't scratch with them and have to be careful cueing them up I'm lucky it wasn't the whole crate. but ya man.. nothing you can do |

I have a 10¨¨like that. the one side plays fine but the other side is slightly convex. I thought it was my imagination at first but you can hear the pitch going up and down. sounds kinda cool but its a bitch to beatmatch |

 Coolness: 93335 | one of my freinds was telling me that
the way to repair waving vinyls would be to place the disc between 2 heavey peices of glass! |

| Coolness: 87410 | ya I have heard that too, but as someone said earlier, it will flatten and distort the grooves. |

| Coolness: 153910 | well, ive put it under a pile of 50+ vinyls for a week, and its WAY less wavy! |

 Coolness: 104160 | take a look at the 2 or 3 vinyls in the pile that were above or below that record
NEVER stack your records face down, and especially for an extended period of time Always stack them standing against a SOLID flat surface. |

 Coolness: 132500 | its cue burn or carved scratch you need to fear, flating them is doable u need to be patient.
pile olds ones flat on it. (it cost your parents money, might as well use it) leave it there for a few months. (ever did that with fall leaves ? same principle , dont hot bath them) Update » cutterhead wrote on Wed Apr 15, 2009 @ 3:21am stack 200 old vinyl on top of one an other and i garantee in 3-6 months ill be flat again. Update » cutterhead wrote on Wed Apr 15, 2009 @ 3:23am you could put a brick on top, but there is a maximum weight before friction turns on you.
patience & persitence. |

 Coolness: 147230 | Yes, putting it between 12" (at least) square sheets of glass works in many cases, you just have to be meticulous. First clean the glass and the vinyl in the best possible way (otherwise it will stick dust in the grooves forever), with distilled water (NOT bottled or tapwater) and special cloth. Put your record between the glass sheets and make it hold tight with screw-clamps or grips (with eg. slices of cork topper to avoid breaking the glass). Then preheat your oven at 65/70 Celsius degrees (=150 Fahrenheit); when it's the right temperature, turn the oven off and put the glassed record inside, close the oven and let simmer until it tastes good ;) ...or until it's cold, rather. There's no guarantee this will work but it really seems the best method.
At Toolbox Records in Paris (best record shop out there), they stock them vertically and rather tightly pressed on both sides (not too much pressure, though), and leave them like this in the back-office for about a year, and it apparently always gets back to normal shape... but i think it works rather with curved records than really waved ones. |

I tried this and it actually worked.... Update » Turtle wrote on Wed Apr 15, 2009 @ 12:51pm p.s make sure all dust is wiped clean from the vinyl in the sleeve first! |
