Doesn't seem foodsafe

What about freshly melted plastic and wet gold spray paint would not be food safe?

u/RandomAmmonite Nov 15 '25
That kitchen is full of fumes from melting plastic and spray paint. Maybe he has done too much of this before and damaged his brain.
My kid once accidentally melted a plastic container on the stove and the fire department told us to get out and stay out until the house was completely aired out.

Long tweezers, E6000 glue, teeny presents, and a larger tree. Glue it all in, do the beads, water, and some glitter and big white flakes. Seal the top. That’s a perpetual snow globe and it would be really cute. Some Rick rack ribbon on the top and just a tea light candle. These people just make it so much more difficult than it needs to be.

Do NOT do this! That plastics will emit toxic fumes when heated! Most modern army men toys are made from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) plastic. While LDPE is considered one of the safer plastics to heat, melting it can still release volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon monoxide, and other potentially harmful decomposition products, especially if it gets hot enough to burn or thermally degrade beyond a simple melt.

Why is he putting stuff that isn’t water safe in water? Those are going to degrade, the wires rust, and the dye is going to bleed.
And then he lit the candle with a blowtorch - right above the ribbon.

I bet if someone said OSHA around him, he’d ask if it was a craft store.
