    No really, people have tried it. And failed.b,121b,121There are professional de-warpers but unless yours is some grail or worth hundreds it hardly seems worthwhile.b,121b,121I find a useful cure for a warped rekkid is to throw it in the bin and buy a better copy.b,121b,121One thing I'd like to believe would work is this: place the record between two sheets of greasproof paper, and then place this package between two sturdy and heavy books. Place them horizontally on a shelf. After one month, put another book on top. Another month, another book and so on. Repeat for about a year.b,121Let me know if it works, I might try it on some eurobin commons.b,121Or some supposed M- Italian library funk I got recently that plays like corrugated iron.b,121b,121 img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /1 img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /1 img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /1

    I own the "vinyl flatter" (sic) in the last clip.b,121b,121Works great - pricey though.
