One easy way to melt plastic is using an oven. Just place the plastic in a heat-proof container and melt it in the oven at 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Open some nearby windows and turn on your oven's fan while the plastic melts to get rid of any toxic fumes. You can also melt plastic using a heat gun. First, place it on a heat-proof surface, like a metal sheet or concrete block, outside. Turn on your heat gun and apply it to the plastic in slow, sweeping motions. This can take a little while, but be patient and keep the heat gun moving so you don't burn the plastic. For more tips, including how to melt plastic with acetone, read on!
