I picked up a very nice copy of "Hissing of summer lawns" for 2 bucks at a community rummage sale. Brought it home and wouldn't ya know it, it has a nasty warp. My little stylus looked like Gilligans boat in high seas!
Anyway, i just sold some rather large vintage photogrphs and ended up with the frames and glass. We had a sunny late afernoon, so I made a glass sandwich, put a 4 lb weight on the label area, and let it sit in 70 degree afternoon sun for 15 minutes. I rotated it once because the weight cast a shadow. Brought it in and layed 10 albums on it to cool. It worked great,mvery mild movement on the headshell now, totally cool!

I did a similar thing with a Harry Nilsson LP ("Nilsson Schmilsson") to great effect a few years ago- it was unplayable to start, but afterwards, had only a minor "drift" up and down.
I wish people (including myself) would show before/after pics here, especially when using some of those crazy "easy bake" units.
Or is that being too OCD???

Yeah, but what if you live in the sunny NW like Seattle or worse?
Once I tried laying an Lp in between two perfectly cut sizes of acrylic , each weighed over 10 lbs. I layed the bottom atop a heating pad for 2 days. Zilch difference. Since I use a record clamp it does a good job most of the time but there are those times when things get a little up and down.
My first attempt at the "plates of glass/LP sandwich" was done in Niagara Falls Canada- summer of 2000. Nilsson thanks me every time I play it now!
