Are the melting temperatures on the poster in Celsius or Fahrenheit?
Has anyone used to toaster oven to melt plastic?
Anyone use a clay mold for plastic?

Celsius, we all use °C and metric over here in Europe.
Yes, you can use a toaster oven: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bsvif1v8qv8
As for clay moulds, it would probably have to be fired first. The plastic is still quite thick when molten, not a runny liquid. You’d have to press it into the mould with some force, not just pour it.
Thanks for the information.
I am converting the temperatures now.
