Live and learn! I think the tile was too uneven of a surface. Too rough. Smoother surface. Lower temperature might work.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think with the heat gun method it would actually work better flipped over so the record is concave, not convex, if you try to flatten a banana shaped object it's likely to curl up than down. This is based on my experience flatting metal with pressure, so obviously it's a bit different, but the theory seems sound still
Your video was interesting and gave me a good laugh at the end😂. Thanks!
I wonder if the baking tray method would work better if you were to place the exact setup outside in direct sunlight. So the metal tray would absorb the heat of the sun, and potentially be more consistent than burst heating it, so to speak.
Could work. One issue might be debris or other things disturbing the set up, but it might be worth a shot.
80C for 10min in pre heat oven will do the job correctly
Can you place a thing shroud then a tile over the record and then heat the tile....
I'm glad I found this video you made because I also ordered a record and it was warped to it is playable so I am just not going to look at it while I play it thanks so much for this video have a great day
My new record has a slight warp that it sits off the platter by maybe a mil and a half. Luckily it doesn't affect sound. Still don't like my needle moving up and down.
I would've flipped it over before heating it up so more of the weight of the record itself would help to flatten it.
Will make great frizbee!
Have you tried Vinyl Flat?
use glass in the oven
Oven heats deep into the vinyl not the surface
maybe if you heated the tray, or other super flat surface, and pressed in down into the vinyl with some weight, a good 3-4kg+, for a slow, even heat and press. Although, that might squeeze the whole thing too muuch
Sheety music. No loss.
If you have 100's of warped records, this process is simply too slow to be useful
😂 Ha ha..... classic!
Need two glass pieces.
Great job on the flattening of the lp!
Too many variables with heat guns
Jeezus, just go out and buy another copy.
Jesus yes obviously for Peter Paul and Mary (and Jesus) but what about a UK 1st pressing of Piper At The Gates Of Dawn?? Might be worth it 👍
I wanna know what warp is... I want you to show meeee!
