Hi ,Jon, Google full of record warped solutions,ranging from large weights to baking in hot ovens!  My success with  45s and LPs as follows;  1, cut out card lable blanks both sides for protection,  place between 2 sheets of 3 mm. Clear glass expose to July Spanish sunlight for 2hours,repeat till warp flattens,!  If no sun  as per UK pre-heat oven to temperature( Google give exact times and temps ,I kid you not!). Alternately the leaving disc under massive weights for 3 months does not work,they just spring back. The application of heat does work , but is not for the faint hearted! Happy Bake Off! Lol Johnny.

Hi Johnny Many thanks for your advice I will try that I will find the temperature of the oven 

I will be worried in case I make it worse as it's a £200+ record

 Thanks again Jon

My advice is if it still plays through OK despite the warp, then leave it alone.  Curing warps has always been a touch and go thing, and I would only try it out on an unplayable warp.  As you say Jon, in case it's made worse.

Brad Hales got a device or something that fixes warps. Maybe worth contacting him?

vinyl is easier to rectify, styrene is more difficult, john manship is the best guy to talk to - 40.00 to fix a warp.

he fixed a styrene warp for me, on a 300.00 record (very pleased)
