Is shortening the time in the VF/GP the answer to lighter weight records?
I do not know the answer, but it seems logical.
Six hours total is what I used for normal weight. Four hours heat on, and then a two hour of heat off/cool-down in the pouch. Maybe a 4-5 hour total cycle is the answer to light-weights? Two on and two off, or three on and two off?
Just spitballin'.
Follow Ups:
Six hours? Do you use the older version of Groovy Pouch without a three-position (LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH) temperature control unit?
When I used the older version, I could leave a record in the Pouch for overnight and even longer without any damage. With the newer version - yes, I will reduce the time and check the temperature and will see what happens.
Control looks like this ... just on/off. No adjustment. I bought it new a bit over a year ago.

Your version is newer than mine, mine is shown in the pic below:
I bought my VF/GP about 3 years ago. It has no temp control. The instructions said to run it for one hour and fifteen minutes, then allow record to cool. If there is no change, and it is still warped, run it for an hour and a half. Keep adding 15 minutes until it starts to flatten. Then run it again, and add five minutes. Keep adding five minutes until it is playable.
I have a thermometer probe inside the pouch, and it never gets above 125 degrees. I have never damaged a record, and I've done between 50 and 100 records.
