What happens to records when you boil them?

[ButterflyBlood]

for some reason I've been curious of this, and I'm considering going and buying some crappy record I don't care about just to try this.

1. They Warp

Records were made from low-temperature vinyl, and heat made them warp.

2. when I was a kid

we used to put them in the oven (on low I suspect) and shape them like bowls or planters. I really don't remember much else - its been 40 years at least.

3. I want to try that now!

time to check out the "Discount Dungeon" at Extreme Noise in Minneapolis...

4. same thing that happens

when you leave them on your dashboard in Phoenix, AZ in summertime. They warp into something resembling a taco-bowl.

Go to any goodwill store and they should have a 25 cent record for you to try it with.

5. You get an Eagles album

Or, if it's very crappy, thin vinyl, a U2 album
