Warpped Wax...

if they are really that bad to the point that they dont play or skip and if you really need to spin them out, find someone with that flattening machine from japan. there's one dude on soulstrut who has one, i think he does it for $20 or something which is really understandable because it takes hours to to do and then he has to go to the post office ship it back to you.

if they're like records that cost less than 20 bucks i would recommend finding another copy because these home solutions will, most times, leave you with 20 or 30 more warped records.

well i just got 2 pieces of glass... ill try that!
and i am strict about not spending loot on records man... im a pocket pincher and a dolla bin kin. i just have a stack of dope wax that has the wobble to it! good looking on all the info though and thanks for the glance at the topic
peace to all who peeped and replied!

I haven't tried it because the record I wanted to straighten ended up getting straightened out enough to play again (just enough) by storing it mooshed flat in a warm room for an extended time (don't know how long it took just left it there for a few months).

I imagine if you did do the glass sandwich in the sun method you might at least want to cover the labels with something to keep them from fading.

I literally am doing this as I type this. I learned this method somewhere from an eBay vinyl flipper, works like a charm. Make sure it's a sunny day where you are at though. The labels shouldn't be an issue unless your not planning on getting the records for a couple weeks. Also be sure to wipe the glass sides that will be in contact with the vinyl down to prevent scratching your disc. One last thing to mention is that if you don't get heavy enough glass your going to want to weight the top glass sheet with something to let gravity and the flat glass work their magic in tandem.

Good luck.

your suppost to leave the record in the sleeve, that way you dont get dust paticles and other sh!t in the gruv.
