Recycled LP bowls

Recycled LP bowls are an interesting way to re-use records that have been damaged by the sun.

How to:

1. Preheat your oven to 400F.
2. Place in your old vinyl for a few seconds only. Make sure that you are keeping watch of it. It will heat up quickly and become flexible and easy to mold.
3. Re-shape it into a bowl (or anything to your liking). You can use a glass bowl to help you in shaping it, if needed.
4. If you don't like the way it looks, you can always put it back into the oven and try again!
5. Finish it off by lining the inside with fabric, paint, etc.-- or just leave it as is.
