Warped Records

Posted

Any tried and tested tips Boys and girls for straightening warps out of vinyl 45's? Just got a record that was advertised as warp NAP but its got a tight heat warp and the needle skips at any weight.... as the seller refunded my money I've nothing to lose in trying to get rid of or lessen the warp :huh:

Cheers

Top tip Pete - first one I tried it on is now approx 6 inches across with more creases than an unironed shirt - then I realised I'd knocked the temperature up to cotton :wicked: tried it again on another one on a cool setting and while not perfect is deffo an improvement and as they say is now "fine for DJ'ing " :yes: wouldn't recommend it on anything too pricey though unless it is a last resort :thumbsup:

Cheers Mate!

I did this successfully on a stock copy of Adams Apples - Don't Take It Out On This World, so I knew it could be trusted!
