Well, Charlie is certainly not going to tear the clay until it is flat, because tearing involves pulling apart, not flattening. And he's not going to touch it until it is flat either, because touching involves coming in contact with something, not changing its shape. And hiding the clay won't do anything to flatten it either. So, the word that best replaces "hit" in the sentence would be "smash." Charlie will smash the clay until it is flat. Just be careful not to make a mess!
