I remember going out to eat with my parents at a fancy restaurant in Louisville and putting my plastic straw into the flame of the candle on the table.
I got reprimanded pretty quickly because - as I vaguely remember - burning plastic causes cancer. That much my parents did have correct.
Apparently, though, if you stop just short of burning the plastic and instead just melt the outer layer, you can make that plastic look like new.
From Newsweek, "[t]his torch is melting away the oxidized top layer, allowing fresh red plastic to flow across the surface."
Look pretty much right to me.
Looks like you can even get the same results with a decent heat gun.
