How did you keep the records from getting soft and/or warping?

 Some molds and mildews are killed by exposure to direct sunlight.  Setting 
a few records outside for an hour or so might be worth a try. We had about 
100 such records, and it worked fine - it was like grilling hamburgers, but 
using the sun.  Afterward, we just rubbed the dead residue off with old 
towels.
