Record flattening, a failed attempt

I did a quick look at recent postings on using a tile record tile sandwitch, placed in a preheated oven at no more than 250 or so F for roughly 20 minutes.

Well, I did just that with a warped Kraftwerks LP but since I have a roughly 15 Y.O. 20" Apt stove and think the temp possibly a bit high, I ran the temp lower than I normally would and placed the thing in the oven and closed the door for 20 minutes, came back, turned off the oven, propped the door open to cool down and while it was on, I turned the temp down a bit further but since I have a pizza stone to keep temps more on an even keel, may not have helped the situation as when I finaly check the cooled LP, it was badly deformed, but flat. Infact, it's totally out of round and a bit less than 12". :-(

Thus, my Kraftwerks LP is no totally unplayable.

*sigh* will do it at an even lower temp I guess.
