How to Make a Dali Style Melting Clock

Step 3 Shape

Find a nice and level table with a straight edge and hang the record over the side of it. Make sure the label is aligned to your supreme satisfaction and flatten out the record on the tabletop. You can try to shape the hanging vinyl, but I've found that the random curves that form on their own are typically fantastic and do a lovely job of reflecting the light.

If you mess this up, throw it back in the oven. This picture is the result of about six tries.

Again, the record was too hot for me to simply press down on it over the edge. If you, like me, find it hot, I recommend setting something up before throwing it in the oven to put on top of it. You want something flat with a lot of weight. In my case, I had to improvise with a clipboard and a large, heavy beer stein on top.
