how to unwarp tc vinyls properly?

i think most of us allready had some troubles with warped timecode records...maybe that´s the downside of having the thinnest DVS vinyls on the market ;)

any suggestions on "unwarping" records?


thanks.

Q-Bert had a video on youtube somewhere about unwarping vinyls, I'm not sure if it'd mess up the timecode or not.

And hey, at least they're not 150 gram vinyls :eek:

Haha yeah man, I got what you meant, so no worries! :biggrin: The first ones I got were a tiny bit warped, but the SkatesOnHaight store said that to take out minor warps you can put your record on the platter, then put your thumb on the label and bend the outside of the record upwards with a finger. Flip the record / repeat. Hope that helps you out a bit Mello, it takes a few times over a period of days and lots of use, but it SHOULD hopefully work for you.

Peace!

Yeah I hadn't heard of that either until I sent them an e-mail for sending me a record that got warped in the mail. Hopefully it works out for you!
