    • Glass can shatter when it experiences temperature shock. Be sure that your glass is room temperature or slightly warm before putting it in the oven, so that it doesn't go from very cold to warm too quickly.

    • Slide your record, sandwiched between the two panels of glass, into the oven.

    • Stay with your record and watch it. If you smell anything funny or hear any strange noises, remove your record from the oven.

    • Warm your record in the oven for 2 or 3 minutes.

    • Leaving your record in the oven for longer may melt your record.

    • Using oven mitts, pull the glass and record assembly out of the oven.

    • Remember that glass can shatter with temperature shock. Do not set your hot glass on a cold granite or tile countertop, or it may shatter!

    • Set the glass on a room temperature table or counter. To protect your surface, place the glass on a potholder or a towel.

    • Weight the glass with heavy books or another flat, heavy object.

    • Leave the record under the weight of the glass and books until it cools completely.

    • When the record is cool, remove it from the glass panels.

    j’ai réussi à dévoiler un vinyl neuf que je viens de recevoir par blueNote »rolling » de Truffaz. J’ai d’abord essayé 3 min à 80 degrés C, le vinyl étant toujours voilé, je l’ai laissé 6 min et là c’est parfait. Pour un précédent cas avec un autre vinyl j’avais fait couper 4 disques de verre de 10 mm d’épaisseur au format 33t en securit, j’ai posé le vinyl nettoyé aux ultra sons sur le premier disque, j’ai posé les 3 autres disques de verre dessus, mis au four, et voilà une belle galette bien récupérée.

Conclusión

Test your vinyl out. If there is still a warp you can repeat the process heating it for just a little longer and weighting it with a heavier object.

just the same process to fix the graphic card of a macbook pro :-D

(Y) great!

Try this: Get two 1/2" x 12" x 12" polished marble floor tiles. Bathe (the tiles) in hot tap water until heated through. Place record in poly sleeve between the two tiles. Place weights on top - the more the better. Wait for tiles to cool. Repeat as necessary.

BTW - Be sure to dry the tiles after heating.

When I was a kid, I watched my Mom fix a warped record one time by putting it between the plates of glass and setting it in direct sunlight for about 10 minutes. That worked as well.

Would sheets of stainless steel work? I don't have access to glass sheets.

I used 2 pieces of glass first time 170 degrees 3 minutes did not do the job then I try 4 minutes a bit better then I went for 5 minutes after that I put 4 heavy books for weight on the glass for 1 hour.The record came out perfect.

Now, if only there was an easy way to fix scratches…

I came here because the new Fleetwood Mac albums (50 Years Don’t Stop Collection)I received today are warped… Got a kick out of seeing Rumours. Luckily, however, my Rumours original press is nice and straight. Gonna return/replace my box set… But, thanks for the tutorial. It’ll surely come in handy for some of my other vinyls.

Where did you get those glass panes from

Robert - Contestar

For the two glass panes you can use two sliding mirror from a bathroom/laundry wall cabinet..

Many ovens, including mine, will not regulate properly down to 80C…..The lowest setting on mine is 120C….Far too hot, as I found out!

The temperature can be changed however by slowly moving the knob around between the lowest setting and off ..(gas oven).

Use a temperature probe in the oven, attached to a temperature or multi-meter and stay and adjust the oven to the right temperature for the necessary 3 - 5 minutes with the record in the oven.

Remember it is better to underdo (can redo) than overdo (It’s toast) for obvious reasons…Good luck!
