record bowls

[cydniey.livejournal.com]

how to do this http://www.greenfeet.com/vinylux-record-bowl.html has vexed me for quite a while.

then tonight, i remembered my heat gun. so my question of the weekend is: do you think a heat gun would work to aid in making a record bowl. i'm thinking it would be a bonus to only heat certain parts at a time, thinking i could work the shape by oven-mitted hands.

thoughts?

thanks
