nothingnatural Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 What is the level of concern one would experience during hot weather? I'm worried about 100 plus degree days and albums in my box waiting for me to get home. I've been buying records through mail order since about 1998 and I've never had any problems with records showing up warped due to being out in the heat. I live in Califonia so it tends to get hot out here in the summer so you'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alangrey Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Just don't buy any chocolate records during the summer season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donlombardo Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I was at a festival once, stayed in a tent that got HOT. somehow the vinyl did not warp, but the glue from the cover didn't stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillhole Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I don't worry about it. I know how blistering hot the back of those delivery trucks get and if that doesn't warp them, sitting out in the heat sure isn't. If they are packed right they will be ok.

natealcatraz Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Maybe wrap the records in a insulated bubble wrap? Or have a bubblewrap you can freeze like those frozen bags u put in with your lunch? Or just freeze the bubblewrap? What would Mr. Freeze do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafoamgreen Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I've never had a record warp due to heat in transit. One time a guy shipped a record to me wrapped in tinfoil (over the inner sleeve). I asked why and he said it was to protect it from heat. Not sure if that logic is legit but, then, I'm not a physicist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
