Melting Plastic Take two.

My second attempt at melting plastic I decided to do outside over an open fire; thus reaching a higher heat and allowing for a more complete melt.

 I created a large sheet of plastic with no recognizable shapes, and instead just a dark mixed up colour and specks of prior colours.
To create this large sheet I needed to build a new mold out of wood and mdf, using hammer and nails to put it all together. The mold was then lined with tin foil to help the plastic not to stick to the wood.

 I was able to chop into the plastic with a coping saw. The inside of the plastic looked much the same as the outside.

 Down in the workshop I armed myself with a heat gun and aimed it one of the cuts, remelting it. Next I held them together and created a new shape, a simple join.

 The simple join isn't the tidiest, but with practice I'm sure I can create something beautiful.
