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. thanksHow can i melt plastic Cd's to make an uniform plastic sheet?
It will not work with your oven ...you need a kiln .How can i melt plastic Cd's to make an uniform plastic sheet?
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
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.
