Yes it does melt plastic and dissolves in it.I used it for my Rubik's Cube and in a week i got Silicone Spray after which i removed the jelly and my paper towel was all black because of it.If you're using it for lubricating a Rubik's cube or anywhere that includes plastic please do not.It is not good.
