I don't understand what you mean by a 'figure 8' warp. Do you mean a record that looks like a 'potato chip', i.e. very warped with seriously bad undulations?

I have come across records that are not merely warped at the edge but also right through the record surface. This appears to me to be a serious pressing fault and cannot be fixed by one of the proprietary devices. I have 3 such records in my collection, 1 (a 2 LP set from MoFi) and 2 Pallas German 2015 pressings which are otherwise perfect.

However, I have flattened records that you would have imagined to be total write offs. I think you should put away your Sundazed LP for a few weeks and put it on your flattener again in 14-21 days. Repeat as often as you can allowing time between. Unless it is one of those LPs that I have described above, it seems to me that unless it is a catastrophic pressing fault you should be able to restore it. It often takes time with repeated treatments to get an improvement. I see this all the time!
