Flattening WHITE vinyls
Flattening WHITE vinyls Posted on: 30.12.2011 by Coral Nika Hi guys. Here's the thing:I bought 2 traktor timecode vinyls. They are pretty warped. I want to flatten them. I watched videos like this one from qbert: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfcLZRr4VDU The thing is: That works cause vinyl is black, but as you know, white reflects sunlight, so it doesn't get heat up as it should. So then, maybe I should use the oven technique, but i don't know exactly for how long and how much weight i should use. Or maybe any other technique I'm not aware of? How do you flatten your white vinyls, or vinyls in general? | |

| Mellisa Calenda 30.12.2011 | When I get a warped record i just break out the iron and ironing bored, put it on high steam and after a few min its right as rain. Just don't pick it up too quickly as it usually comes out pretty hot. |
