SINGLE SHEET – HEATING VINYL HEALTH CONCERNS
I EXPERIENCED SOME PRETTY NASTY FUMES WHEN EXPERIMENTING WITH HEATING VINYL AND RESEARCHED THE POTENTIAL RISKS
YINYL RECORDS ARE MADE OF POLYVINYL CHLORIDE AND POLYVINYL ACETATE. WHEN HEATED ABOVE ROOM TEMP THESE WILL OFF GAS CHLORINE AND DIOXIDES – BOTH ARE VERY DANGEROUS.
BECAUSE OF THESE DANGERS AND THE SUB-OPTIMAL TEST REULTS I DECIDED TO NOT EXPERIMENT RUTHER WITH VINYL.

SINGLE SHEET – VINYL PRODUCTS AND FORMS
WHEN I KNEW I COULD REFORM VINYL WITH RELATIVE EASE BUT LACKED CONSISTENCY I HAD A LOOK ONLINE AT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE HAD ACHIEVED.
WHAT I TOOK FROM MY RESEARCH AND CONVERSATIONS WITH OTHERS WAS THAT A VINYL RECORD IS ALRADY A PRODUCT WITH AN ASSIGNED (NON-MONETARY) VALUE. I DON’T COSIDER THERE TO BE ANY SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THEĀ VALUE OF THEĀ FORMS AND APPEARANCES OF THE RESULTING PRODUCTS – EVEN IF THE VALUE STARTED LOW IN THE CASE OF ‘BAD’ RECORDS.

MY INNITIAL THOUGHT WEN RECIEVING THE BRIEF WAS TO TRY AND USE A WASTE MATERIAL THAT ALREADY EXISTS AS A SHEET. I INNITIALLY RESEARCHED AND EXPERIMENTED WITH VINYL RECORDS.
I WAS IMPRESSED WITH HOW EASY IT WAS TO MAKE THE MATERIAL MALLEABLE AND HOW EVENLY IT WOULD TAKE ON A FORM
