What the hell can I make from this?

[Rodolfo Carson No.971216]

So, I found myself in possession of at least 400, maybe 500 shellac records.

Since these things are stupidly busted up, and I'm not exactly sentimental, I wanted to try my hand at fashioning something with the material, but I have no real idea how it works.

I'm pretty sure melting them is a bad idea from a health perspective (can they even be melted, or do they burn?), but can I stretch this stuff out so I can paint on it?

Really don't have a damn clue what I'm doing here, and would prefer not killing myself, to be honest.

[Penny Valdez No.971221]

melt them down and make a vinyl sex suit.

then get buttfucked on camera for money

also you could sell the suit on ebay or something

[Raymond Hubbard No.971223]

>>971221
Can you even fucking melt it, though? Some LPs release chlorine gas, but I haven't found jack shit for Shellac ones.

Also, fuck you, my Vinyl sex suit is mine and mine alone.

Haha, real fucking funny. Are you going to help, though, or just shitpost?

[Gwen Huynh No.971254]

crush them fine, dissolve in denatured alcohol and lacquer, strain and jar - profit.....?

Make black nail polish and sell to the goth kids on the cheap.

Make a black shellac stain/finish and refinish all the floors and trim in your house.

Well fuck I guess op should just use them for target practice and buy some bowls.

You could cut slots into them so they fit together, then build something like a huge buckyball.

I got a ton of old beat up records at a garage sale about 4 years ago. My husband loves music, has a room just for listening. I hung them up on the wall so they'd overlap with the labels showing. I started at the bottom and worked my way up so they lined up like scales.

Sorry faggo, no one cares.

[Op No.971832]

So, besides breaking it down to a sort of lacquer or shooting them (ornamentation not withstanding), nobody really knows too much else that can be done with Shellac LPs?

Do they even release poisonious fumes if heated beyond a certain point?

[Fuck Captcha No.971930]

>>971216
sell them for $100 and put that dosh towards a more worthwhile project

[Anonymous No.971981]

Cut out the centres, put some kind of coating on it, put little rubber nubs on the bottom, sell them to hipsters as drink coasters.

[Anonymous No.972050]

Why don't you build something to play them with?

[Anonymous No.972052]

>>972050
>Since these things are stupidly busted up

I assume they are scratched to shit and won't play anymore.

Put cheap clock mech in the middle, sell to hipsters.

[Anonymous No.972096]

As someone who collects and trades in shellac 78s, I really have to question what you mean by "stupidly busted up". Some 78s, even in awful condition, are valuable due to the rare nature of the audio recorded on them.

Being far more scratch resistant than vinyl and having considerably deeper grooves you can often have a 78 which has many scratches on the surface but still plays.

I suggest you catalogue them before doing anything destructive with them.

[Anonymous No.972101]

Cut the middle out so all you have left is the label and sell them on Etsy to the hipster types for big bucks

[Anonymous No.972158]

>>972059
I second this to the nth degree

[Anonymous No.972179]

To get rid of some bulk, I guess you could sandwich a bunch between plexiglass or glass and make a coffee table.

[Anonymous No.972187]

Shellac can be dissolved in alcohol. Not sure if shellac records are any different.

First off, follow what >>972096 said, because possibly worth money.

Then try to dissolve them in alcohol and reshape into desired form.

[Anonymous No.972242]

>>971221
You're retarded. Old 78 rpm records are shellac, not vinyl. They're closer to glass/candy coating than plastic.

[Anonymous No.973804]

Drop them off a building. They shatter and make a loud noise and it looks cool.

Also itt youngfags who think that all recorda are made of vinyl.

[Anonymous No.973832]

sell them together with a flower pot as make your own cool bowl kit on etsy for only 49.99$

I like this infograph but it seems dated. This one seems more 1970's. The modern one should mention:

>Girl already has two kids at the marriage step
>Wants more kids
>Has wedding while pregnant ; still insists on expensive wedding and wearing white although last shred of virginity is isolated to her left nostril
>Busy body mother in law undermining you via Facebook
>Being double-cucked by having to drop off idiot stepspawn at ex-boyfriend house
>Ex menaces you as if it's your fault he owes child support, but of course never pays it
>Scary as hell because of course wife likes the bad boy types, but don't worry, she's turning over a new leaf by marrying a cuck like you to avoid being controlled

[Anonymous No.975965]

best thing to do is sell them to hipster bars who will nail them to the wall as decoration

[Anonymous No.975976]

No, I reiterate, the best thing you can do is catalogue them, grade them and sell them.

If you have that many 78s then one or two are bound to be worth something, even in poor condition, even without sleeves.

Destroying them or selling them to some mindless fucking starbucks hipster who will likely destroy them anyway is fucking awful.

If for some reason you absolutely need to smash some while you jerk yourself off then once you've catalogued them at least you'll know which ones aren't valuable..

You're going to commit a fucking travesty aren't you?
