Re: Warped blank records

Actually I never had this problem. Apparently strange if I read all these comments. Of course sometimes there is a warped blank, but it flattens perfectly when I put it on the warm cuttingtable. I use 2mm blanks, heating with the two Souri lamps and between 40-50 degrees C. I didn't have those kind...

Re: Warped blank records

I purchased a propagation heat mat , which is flat and heats to around 30c. Put a stack of discs on top of each other, eg: 20 disc pile. I've tried the propagation mat trick (thanks @David34!) and it kind of works with the most warped blanks, at least with the 1.5mm transparent ones I use. But the ...

Re: Warped blank records

Do you have any picture of the rubber rings? I tried with aluminium ring that sits at the edge of the records (1mm on the edge) it fits nicely but its not heavy enough (50 grams) to flatten the the record.

I add a few pictures so you can see the aluminium ring.

Re: Warped blank records

In 95% I use 2mm blanks.

Thanks for your suggestions fellas! I will definitely try them all. I will inform you how that "ring" will work as well.

Re: Warped blank records

Thank you for your answer! I tried flipping but it didn't help. One side is always warped. I don't know what to do with those records because nothing works. My friend will make me like a rostfrei ring to sit on the edge of the records to help push down the warped side. I really hope that that will w...
