I've just used the tempered glass sandwich......

With excellent results.I bit the bullet and bought 2 13" square 1/4" tempered glass.I cleaned them well,put the clean LP between,put them in the oven pre-heated to 170 deg (270 is way to high!)for 10 minutes.Much to my surprise a badly warped record came out almost dead flat and seems to play perfectly.Oh I took the glass sandwich out of the oven after the ten minutes,put it on the counter and let it cool for at least 3 hours with some phone books on top.
There's one factor in the process I'm trying to figure a way to overcome and thats the thickness of the label doesn't allow for absolute flattening.I'm gonna get some thin Teflon sheet and cut some holes for the label to act as a nice non-stick buffer.This will allow the glass to make contact with the entire record surface.
The only other thing would be to have someone machine some heat resistant material with a recess like a platter,that would be the ultimate for this job!
