Mines warped- I'm having no luck flattening it

You should be able to heat it up in the oven, and while it is warm, place it between 2 pieces of glass with a heavy weight on top (like a heap of books). Let it cool and it should be straight. Failing that, I think PBR sell them. If you need one I could grab one for you in our next order.

If you do get a new one I’d be interested in your bent one for my wall hanging that will get a few $$ towards a new one

Thanks. PBR ran out of them some time back. The oven trick is not recommended on pinwiki for this plastic as it's a different kind of plastic. Jim (Gott lieb)tried it and  ended up with a banana. I'm thinking a high res scan then get it printed on vinyl and get a new disc cut from Perspex or even thin glass

I've got one of these, it's totally flat but it's not silkscreened, it looks like it might be printed. I'm not sure if it's a repro or original. Let me know if you are interested. I got it from the US.

they were screen printed as I have a second from PBR - it is missing a few small bits of white art but if solar value's offer falls through I could do a scan worst case could do a scan and you could photo shop the gaps
