We do the glass in the oven (or sun) trick for dewarping vinyl records all the time in the DJ world. Works pretty good but you have to be careful.

Quoted from mof:

what's the best way to get smaller pieces of glass for this?
-mof

Remember, that some of the affect comes from the weight of the glass. If you go too small you won't get enough pressure. Recently they've actually come out with a vinyl flattener product (as opposed to the DIY way we used back in the day). Something like this may even work better.
