Gluesticks

How do you melt a condom?

This is a serious question I want to melt them for an art project, so far I have tried pressing a curling iron to them and the air from a hair dryer. Oh and also the tip of a hot glue gun did not melt them either.

1. You're probably going to need to get it over 125 Centigrade to melt it (which is pretty damn hot). The oven would definitely do it, but you might consider a toaster oven so that you could do this outdoors (fumes). Alternatively, fire hot...
2. I doubt that cured latex rubber will ever melt again only burn and char. If you can find some of the polyethylene ones they would probably melt.
3. Latex condoms, the most common, are a cured natural rubber product and will never melt, they will only burn. If you want something to melt it has to be thermoplastic, not cured or thermoset.
