i think you missed this part of the process: "350* for 45 min . . . then return it to the oven for another 45 min. . ."
Poptart + 350 at 90 min = cinders. It will not smell like you've been behaving. it will smell like you need the Fire Dept.

You said,
I didn't really have enough to experiment with properly either, so I decided to send you all my carving material shreds, so you could have enough to work with. Boxers could ensure you a bountiful supply :)
Then I looked up the melting point of rubber and found they vary across a wide range, but really outside the bountries of a toaster oven, no matter how magnificent.
But, I started wondering about pottery kilns. And blacksmith forges. If the temperature could be achieved , how critical is the range? Would it burn? What about Vulcanization?
I appreciate all the time Webfoot puts in working on the various incarnations of ?Z.
What is pink stuff made of anyway? So, I looked up the MSDS and found a list of ingredients comprising the synthetic polymer. Which would most likely denature if heated. Sigh.
But, what would that denaturing consist of? Become too brittle? What about dissolving it in a solvent instead of melting it? What...Oh, look, squirrel!

And what of the statement that Stamp Carving and Mounting board is not on your list of favorites? How could that be? Isn't that one of the moderators/owner's job descriptions, to read any and all boards? Oh, I suppose you think of yourself as Mr. Perfect, as well? Who needs tips on carving? LOL! Totally BS here, teasing.

actually, ive never melted stamp material only pony beads. also re the bubbles. I use a lighter (one fo the long ones) to pop the bubbles when i work with polyurethane, maybe that would work with the pink stuff. expand the air.

I feel like I just read something from a Chemistry book I don't understand. ;o)

Marjorie is irreplaceable! I'd never do anything that would cause permanent damage to her! *nodding* =)

That was a tragic accident, and have I replaced Wassa Jr? No, I have not! Because Wassa Jr is also irreplaceable! *nodding*
Wassa might be replaceable, though.... ;o)

Be still, my beating heart. Oh, the unbounded joy that leaps through my soul at such a prospect!
