- Place record in water slowly so as to not splash. Fold one side and pull out to dry a few seconds. Repeat other side. When molding base use a cookie pan or metal counter to flatten and make sturdy. Remember you can always make adjustments to customize.
Once done make sure it is completely dry with a kitchen towel and place what you would like. - Enjoy your recycling project. Give as a gift or keep ! :)
