Let me follow up on my earlier pos about LEGO baking/heat testing.
In a second, completely un-scientific test, I set my oven at roughly 150
Fahrenheit (I did not have a baking thermometer to measure accurately).
I put a few yellow 2x4 bricks within the oven. A pair of them joined by
all 8 studs, a pair joined by 4 common studs, and one brick by itself.
They baked for about 10 minutes and DID warp.
I repeat, they DID warp.
So somewhere around 150F (65.5 C) is dangerous for our little plastic
toys.
Now, whether an attic space would ever reach 150 degrees (even in an
Alabama summer) is doubtful, but more tests (and more accurate tests)
are required.

| (...) Is is possible to melt the plastic without burning it? It would be fun to do some experiments with those sand-molding kits and say some train windows :) KL (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.storage)
