Warped Vinyl Quick Fix

This worked for me but there has to be something wrong with it.
I have some vinyl I don't use and I had a record that was semi warped. I took 3 pieces of vinyl that I don't use, took the slipmat off my techs and put the warped one under the other 3 and left them over night.
Bam, strait as an arrow.
Bad Idea?
:conf: |

| Well if the record was unusable before and now its fixed there's not much more that could go wrong |

| No it was usable before but it was a tiny bit warped. |

nice idea, I've got some great vinyls that are warped, I'll give it a try tonight and report back
To be honest, not sure why it would work, I've squashed vinyls under medical text books (a good couple of kilos) for a week before and no improvement...... |

My warping was minor. I would describe it as a noticeable rise and fall from the tonearm, but it was obvious the vinyl wasn't strait.
I think the key is the amount of time you let it sit there. The larger the warping the more time you need. Though I have to wonder if its even possible to fix heat/major warping because the vinyl has been stretched, BUT this should work for those minor waves in your wax.
Let me know what happens with you guys. |

| bend it opposite the warp... works perfectly. and no, doesn't harm the vinyl. |

In my experience this is almost impossible to accomplish. Often times you end up bending the part of the vinyl that you used to support your thumbs. |

there *may* be an improvement, but its kinda hard to tell. Gonna leave it for another 24 hours or maybe over the weekend and see what happens.
(this is a decent warp, I might put another one on the other deck that has a smaller wave) |
