@OriginalTessaMessa Oh, you kid! Well, the behavior of warmed up sheets of styrene is not an every-day thing. And I do get a little kick every time it wraps itself around whatever. A bigger kick when it's a good wrap! The few times I have had customers in the Test Kitchen, they have gasped and smiled like a kid at the process.
@elazarn2 Not very much, if at all. You're not supposed to eat the plastic. Setting it on fire has the usual common-sense warnings. There is a vapor that comes off, which is water in the form of steam. No doubt some volatiles come along with it, but it's no worse than standing on a Manhattan street corner for 2 minutes-- in fact, to form one thing takes about 2 minutes. Since this is my kitchen, I have baked a pizza pie on one level and softened some styrene on another-- no complaints!
It's maaaagic!
I kid, I kid. It's cool to see that process.

Very cool. I have to wonder how toxic that process is, though.
