Have a few tubes of Construction grade Silicone... 100% Might like to do some projects one of which might be to create shapes and forms through liquification. Would hope that the silicone, once formed can be returned to its original consistency. Guidance sought

Silicone doesn't melt. It decomposes instead.

 

Some materials you can melt:

Glue from hot glue pistols

Wax, stearine

Paraffin

Polyethylene, polypropylene - others tend to be unhealthy

Lead, tin, alloys. Some alloys melt at a low temperature, for instance in hot water.
