Guide to flattening warped vinyl records on june 23rd 2016 by levi sheppard short of buying a replacement copy of your prized records there really isn t a quick and easy way to alleviate the pain of having a bent or warped record on your hands and buying new isn t always an option.
What to do with warped vinyl.
Heavier or thicker glass tends to work best.
A typical vinyl record can start warping due to heat at a temperature of 140 f 60 c and can melt at temperatures exceeding 212 f 100 c.
Make sure the objects cover as much of the record as possible.
An untrained person may struggle to determine what the reason is for the warping and to come up with the right solution.
Place the warped record between the objects.
Then wait for about 10 minutes.
I just recently moved to a new home and i knew it was going to be hot.
I was terrified that my vinyl collection could warp through the journey.
Put the first object on a flat surface such as a table.
Place some weight onto it approximately 1 kg.
One thing i took special care to do with the design was to make it really versatile.
This is because your new window won t be able to move within the frame such as opening it.
More specifically i wanted it to do super weird stuff but also subtle more musical stuff super well.
You ll need two sheets of glass larger than your album but small enough to fit in your oven.
Other times the window itself can t even be replaced due to the warped frame meaning you ll have to install a whole new window and frame.
So very late in 2013 i released warped vinyl.
After some research this is what i found and what you can do to prevent warping.
Whatever you decide to do keep in mind that a slightly warped vinyl record still plays better than one that you accidentally overheated in your supposedly food inside only oven.
Put the record atop the object followed by your second heavy object.
Warped vinyl can lead to a wobbly sounding rendition of your favorite song.
Hiring someone with experience and a good reputation may be the best idea to fix your warped siding and tackle any issues before they begin to get.
Fortunately warped records can often be fixed so you can be back to rockin and rollin in no time.
The issue with warped windows is that simply replacing the window itself won t solve the problem.
If any part sticks out they may be warped.
And people liked it.
The same can be said for vinyl since fixing vinyl siding can be trickier.
