Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

Only if you exceed the yield stress.

Vinyl as used in records is used above its glass / rubber transition point so it acts as a rubber. It's very difficult to push a rubber beyond its compressive yield stress because it acts basically like a condensed fluid.

When I get time I will try to get together more information on elastic/plastic deformation and creep strain behaviour in vinyl.
