Bad idea!!! This is what my friend did. ...one of my airliquide records was badly warped due to the sun's rays falling on it so he put it in a crate of v. tightly packed 'house choons' right in the middle of them for a few days and that sorted it out. Pretty flat after that, just a glimmer of up-and-downness which is 3% of how badly warped it was before.... -- Ben Coffer Hybrid Productions http://www.hybridgame.demon.co.uk/
