RE: Warped vinyl
Found this on another board....
SOLUTION
this seems mad, but i tried a few times and got it!
right, grab a baking tray, make sure the whole vinyl fits on it
pre-heat oven to 50 and stick baking tray (with vinyl of course lol) on middle shelf
leave in for about 20 secs MAX and then take it out
put it to cool somewhere with a sheet of glass or sumat similar over the top with a small weight on top (record box works well here boys n girls)
leave for about 24hrs
the vinyl is fine!
ALSO dont be stupid by putting ya fave tune as test one....grab an old/cheap 2nd hand (if ya got one of those £1 vinyl shops) and practice with em first (took me 3 attempts to get right...its worth it though!!)
Why can't things be simple, eh? Actually your method was on that board as well LoFreq and claimed to be the best way! I'll try it with 2 sheets of Perspex instead of glass (use what you've got) keep in sun for 2-3 minutes, then place indoors on table still between glass
and keep under weight for a few hours.
Hey presto!!
Thanks again, LoFreq.
BTW the record is 'the bouncer' by 'Kicks Like A Mule'....Is it really worth the effort, some of you may ask. Ahh, leave me alone, i love all that cheesy old 'ardkore!
