So I flipped it over and it played fine which seemed odd so I flipped it back to side A and now it’s flat? I don’t know what was up, I would say maybe I didn’t push the album down flat on the spindle but the hole is loose so I don’t know what was going on, maybe I left a stack of nickels on the platter or something.
With a warp that gradual I’d do low heat for a couple hours and then just repeat until satisfied.
Update: Success (close enough anyway )
1st run - Low heat 1 hr. Didn't make a difference
2nd run - Med heat 1.5 hrs. Slight improvement
3rd run - Med heat 1.45 hrs. Better, almost there...
Last run - Med heat 2 hrs. Not perfect but good enough. Don't want to tempt fate. No affect on playback Record is 130 grams if that matters.
Thanks again for all the info. Cheers.
Vid clips are of 3rd and last runs.
the heating element is not particularly consistent between units. the reason they include a thermometer with the Groovy Pouch is so you can determine which setting on your particular unit gets you to between 120-150 degrees at the fold.I see a lot of medium heat stans here. Should I not be going with hot?
I’m around. DM me.I got a couple friends on the shelves that could use some heat treatment. Anyone available to receive a package in the next week or so?

This is what you get for living in the middle of the country.Just an update to my "generosity", if you're reaching out for help and have less than 50 posts, DM me to discuss compensation.
We're so high on the Google hits now that I'm actually getting locals who are finding me on here via web searches for "record flattening in Canada" and are creating accounts just to DM me. They've all been very nice but I think strangers handing me piles of warped vinyl might be my own personal hell.Just an update to my "generosity", if you're reaching out for help and have less than 50 posts, DM me to discuss compensation.
