RECORD PI® WARP FIX LAB


GET A PERSONALIZED STARTING PLAN FOR YOUR WARPED RECORD

Not every warped record should be treated the same way.

The Record Pi® Warp Fix Lab helps you choose a starting approach for temperature and time based on the record and the type of warp you’re trying to flatten.

Instead of relying on a single setting for every record, the Warp Fix Lab gives you guidance tailored to the information you provide.

WHY DIFFERENT RECORDS NEED DIFFERENT APPROACHES

Vinyl can respond differently depending on the record, the severity of the warp, and the conditions used during flattening.

A setting that works well for one record may not be the best starting point for another.

The Warp Fix Lab is designed to help you take a more controlled, gradual approach by considering the characteristics of the record before you begin.

______________________

WHAT THE WARP FIX LAB CONSIDERS

The Warp Fix Lab uses information you provide about your record and warp to help determine an appropriate starting approach.

Depending on the record, that may include factors such as:

  • Record weight
  • Warp type
  • Severity or condition of the warp
  • Other characteristics that may affect how the vinyl responds

The goal is to give you a more informed place to start, not a one-size-fits-all setting.

WHAT YOU’LL GET

After answering a few questions, the Warp Fix Lab provides personalized starting guidance for:

TEMPERATURE

A recommended starting temperature range based on the information you provide.

TIME

A suggested starting duration for the flattening cycle.

APPROACH

Guidance designed to help you begin conservatively and make gradual adjustments based on how the record responds.

WHY STARTING CONSERVATIVELY MATTERS

Too little heat may leave the warp unchanged.

Too much heat can increase the risk of damaging the record.

That’s why Record Pi® is built around precision-controlled temperature and a gradual flattening process.

The Warp Fix Lab helps you begin with a measured approach and evaluate the record before making larger changes to temperature or time.

THE WARP FIX LAB WORKS WITH RECORD PI DIAL AND RECORD PI WIFI

The Warp Fix Lab is designed to help owners of both Record Pi systems.

RECORD PI DIAL

Use the recommended starting guidance to set your physical TURN ON and TURN OFF temperatures directly on the controller.

RECORD PI WIFI

Use the recommended guidance to set and monitor temperature locally or through connected features.

Both systems use the same core Record Pi flattening process: controlled heat, even pressure and time.

______________________

WHAT IF THE RECORD DOESN’T FLATTEN ON THE FIRST CYCLE?

That does not necessarily mean the record cannot be improved.

Some warped records may require more time, additional cycles or gradual temperature adjustments.

The Warp Fix Lab gives you a starting point, but every record can respond differently.

Evaluate the result after each cycle and make changes gradually.

______________________

CAN EVERY WARPED RECORD BE FIXED?

No.

Some records respond very well to controlled heat and pressure, while others may be difficult or impossible to fully restore.

Severe deformation, previous heat damage, unusual vinyl formulations and other factors can affect the result.

The Warp Fix Lab provides guidance, but it cannot guarantee that a specific record will flatten successfully.

DESIGNED TO HELP YOU FLATTEN WITH MORE CONFIDENCE

Record Pi® gives you precise control over the flattening process.

The Warp Fix Lab helps you make better use of that control by giving you a more informed starting point for temperature and time.
