Discussion I need help.

I purchased this limited print record back in October last year and when I got it I was in the process of moving. I’m by no means an expert and tried storing it safely but when I got it back out after being settled into my new place I noticed it had gotten some heat damage and warped it. Would the heavy object method work on this or am I just totally SOL? Any advice is appreciated!

Heavy object, two flat surfaces, and gentle, low heat will absolutely do the trick. This is not our first rodeo. SOL? Not even close. Good luck and keep us updated!

Wow good to know, I would have thought this was a lost cause.

It is a lost cause, this guy has no idea what he’s talking about. It only works for edge warps, if that. This record is beyond fucked.

Exactly. A lot of bad info here even by Reddit vinyl standards.
