Question:

Anyone learned in the ways of plastic?

I want to create a sculpture for my next art piece, and I wanted to coat a ceramic sculpture in plastic, and then melt it away in places. Firstly, what plastic should I be using? Secondly, how should I go about melting this plastic and coating my piece? Thank you :)

Answer:

confusing subject. do a search in the search engines. just that could help!
Ah so you wish to learn the way of plastic crafting, grasshopper? Come wi... you know, **** it. Ask a pro, or wait for someone else to post an answer
You might want to ask this in one of the sculpting or art forums online to get better answers --or at least include the word sculpture or art in your subject line. One thing I can tell you though is that you'll need a thermoplastic type of plastic (polymer) if you want it to melt when exposed to heat (perhaps with a heat gun or something you can place next to it that's at least 250 degrees F (plastics vary in their heat tolerance though).
