The petroleum distallate merly dissolve the plastic allowing the trapped gas in the bubbles to collaspe and decrease in volume. When the liquid is removed the plastic rehardens, much like using solvent glue on styrene. Now melting with a hot wire burns the plastic and releases posion gasses. And touch that hot wire to your finger if you don't think it will burn you to the bone. We kind of need to watch some of the things we post on this site as teenagers will read and do it. I can see a child mounting a wire in his dads soldering gun and branding his sister or burning his house down. I rather would have them using WD 40 to melt plastic. FRED<br />PS .Anyone don't think a hot wire cutter will not burn you send me an email and I'll email you a picture of my scar. <br />
