Well, maybe. Now that I think about it, I suppose it depends on how much the
plastic flows, and sticks to the blade. I've tried cutting certain
plastics with heat that simply melted and reformed right behind the blade...

I had to be very careful with the one I had. I would turn it on and test the cut
until it got to a temperature that worked well. After 15 minutes or so, it would
get too hot to work well, and I'd unplug it for a while. Dunno what happened to
it; I lost track of it after I ran out of time for building models.

either by marriage or by removal of the afflicted from the circumstances
under which he incurred the condition. It is sometimes fatal, but more
often to the physician than to the patient.
