I use the archaeological method at my place

Posted by beach cruiser on June 3, 2022 at 20:39:05:
Since this type of vinyl has a memory, any problematic records I have are simply crammed by into my storage, where space is so tight I have gone to outside covers on every other stored album to save the room, and presto, years later they come out as flat as when made.

now that that is out of the way, I can"t resist suggesting the old manual solution of putting the record between two sections of window glass and carefully warming them in the sun light.

I suppose the automatic aspects have won the day for the people who are very satisfied with the vinyl flat product, but the hands on approach is universal, and unquestionably cheaper.

I post this method to give an easy an affordable alternative to those who might have just a couple of warped records or might not be aware there are alternatives to buying a multi hundred dollar solution to the same problem .

Last time I mentioned the sunlight method, a got slapped around pretty harshly by some touchy vinyl flat owners, so this time, I omitted the $300 pizza delivery sleeve comparisons .
