Yet to try it myself, but this looks promising: vinylflat.com

Alternatively, you could try using a weight (at least it helps with mail order wax that's been bowled): www.project-audio.com

Back in the real vinyl days you could sometimes set 50 or 75 records on top of it in a stack (bowl side up) or stuff in a tight crate...

Now that everything is digital who has 50 or 100 records handy anymore? (Control vinyl collectors excluded).

Save your money and get two flat panes of glass. Take your warped record and sandwich it in betwee the two panes. Find a FLAT surface outside and place the sandwich in the sun for a few hours. Works like a charm.

Unless he's in Michigan (or upper 1/2 of the Continental US) where it only gets around 35 degrees tops this time of year outside in the sun...

: )

Wonder if the thick glass sandwich trick would work on a clothes dryer or warm oven?

yeah ive been reading works in a 175 degree oven for a few minutes

~ I used a hairdryer while the record was on my turntable rotating, no slipmat. :)
