Introduction
Improper storage, exposure to heat, and cats can lead to warped vinyl. Warped vinyl can lead to a wobbly sounding rendition of your favorite song. Fortunately, warped records can often be fixed, so you can be back to rockin' and rollin' in no time. You'll need two sheets of glass larger than your album, but small enough to fit in your oven. Heavier or thicker glass tends to work best.
Once you've finished your repair, be sure to store your vinyl properly, vertically and out of the heat, to prevent any future warping.
What you need
-
-
Pull your record out of its case, and make sure it is nice and clean.
-
Place your clean record in the center of one of the glass panels.

Test your vinyl out. If there is still a warp you can repeat the process heating it for just a little longer and weighting it with a heavier object.

just the same process to fix the graphic card of a macbook pro :-D
(Y) great!
When I was a kid, I watched my Mom fix a warped record one time by putting it between the plates of glass and setting it in direct sunlight for about 10 minutes. That worked as well.
Would sheets of stainless steel work? I don't have access to glass sheets.
