i want to melt some of my unused cd's to make a uniform plastic sheet. but i haven't succed, i tryed putting them in the stove but it was a total mess...any idea? i'm trying to reach the point of melting when the plastic is like liquid, to work with it easyer. thanks
It will not work with your oven ...you need a kiln .
Have you ever melted chocolate or crayons? It is the same process you need indirect heat you would need a bigger pot dirrectly on the stove with water in it and a smaller pot inside that with the plastic in it. It will probably take quite a while but this should work.
it probably wouldnt work with anything you would have at home a kiln would burn it a double boiler wouldnt get it hot enough recycling companies granulate it and melt it in a chamber then extrude it but i dont think that would work for you also when plastic melts it is kindof syrupy the best thing for you to do is to go out and buy a sheet of plastic
