How much warp should a new Traktor Control Record have?

[drewspuppet]

Been a long time since I have used vinyl of any kind.

Just got some table so a chance to test out Traktor control.

1 of the records has a slight wobble to it... the other pretty noticable...

Is this normal? Anything I can do to fix?

Slipmats are fine.. still wobbles on the platter..

Shouldn't have any warp at all.

There's loads of ghetto vinyl flattening/dewarping methods I've read on the net, most of them are crazy tho imo and you'll never get the vinyl back to it's original factory condition after it's warped. You can see some improvement tho depending on the severity of the warping.

2 sheets of glass and a warm place like in the sun is the ghetto method I'd have the most faith in. Sandwich the vinyl between 2 sheets of glass large enough to cover the vinyl, let the sandwich warm up in the sun or somewhere warm but not hot, the vinyl will soften as it warms up and straighten out, then you let the sandwich cool off again out of the sun before taking the vinyl out from between the glass. Don't be tempted to clamp the glass together tightly or use a lot of weight on top of the sandwich as the groove will soften and start to become flattened out when the vinyl straightens out in the sun, altho some people do recommend using a book or something to weigh the top piece of glass down and add a little pressure to the sandwich. It's v.important to let the vinyl cool in the sandwich between the glass btw as there's a danger it will just warp again as it cools.

There are machines you can buy and dewarping/straightening services available that use those machines. They're like trouser press machines basically, with 2 flat plates that clamp together with a 12" cut out to hold the vinyl while the plates are warmed up to the right temp and cooled again Or the "vinylflat" which clamps the record in place and is then placed in a "groovy pouch" or somewhere warm to soften the vinyl while it's held in place by the vinyl flat (like the glass sheets method I described)
They're not cheap services/machines tho so it's probly gonna be cheaper to just buy some new ones.

Is it ok to keep records on the table to store when not using? I will likely be solely using DVS control record unless I can find a deal on a lot of old school hip hop... so wondering if it is generally ok to just keep the record on the table. I know usually records need to store vertical, not sure about if on the platter or not though..
