I've been using the Vinyl Flat/Groovy Pouch set for approx. 6 years (I have the latest version of Groovy Pouch with a control unit). In my experience, I have best results with modern productiion records (mostly 180 g). Sometimes other people ask me to flatten their warped records, some of which are very light and thin. Today I purchased kithen scales and weighed some of their records: Nazareth "Hair of the Dog" (A&M, made in the US, is 103 g), Nazareth "Play'n'the Game' (A&M, also made in the US, is 110 g) and Krokus "Blitz" made by Arista in the US is 107 g.
I had an unfortunate experience before - I melted some light records (made by Arista, Geffen and RCA) using an ORB vinyl flattener and one or two records using the Vinyl Flat/Groovy Pouch.
Now that I have the scales, I can weigh records and refrain from using the Vinyl Flat/Groovy Pouch set.
Would you audiophiles and music lovers advise me whether 103g-110g LPs are too light for Vinyl Flat/Groovy Pouch and, hence, it would be too risky and dangerous to flatten them?
Your opinions will be much appreciated.
