Any reliable tips?

Asked this in the Joanna Newsom thread but probably warrants it's own..

Iv'e seen paople describe putting the record into the oven briefly between 2 sheets of glass and then letting the rig cool under a weight. Can't say I've tried it myself.

Two plates of glass, record in the middle, leave it in the sun for about an hour, maybe more if the warp is bad.

Take out of the sun and leave to cool.

Take record out.

if you put glass in the sun it will melt. try sunlight.

Spray hairspray on it and put it in the freezer over night. Works every time.

Used to do that with my used callcards... Never worked

If ye place a record between the glass and in a hot environment would that not also potentially smooth/swash the actual grooves on the vinyl? I would get a crappy record you dont want, warp it then try fix it with this sunlight (or oven) idea
