Anyone ever heat styrene?

Heat a little at a time. I use a heat gun and use the low setting (750 degrees). Plastic starts melting around 350 to 400 so it doesn't take long to heat up. The great thing about it is that when you heat it, you can reshape things over and over again, as long as you don't stretch the plastic out.

Yes works great. Just remember that any problem with the wood plug will show on the molded part.
