A member asked:
I melted my plastic bottle to the point where it could be reshaped. i then let it cool and re-solidify. how long should i wait before drinking from it?

I wouldn’t: Be thrilled about drinking out of such a bottle. Melting plastic creates toxins that probably would leech into your drink. Sorry.
