If plastic is melted I guess it would be useless and the ways u can get rid of it is by either scratching it off or use solvents such as Hexane's ( to buy this solvent I think you need a licence and it is extremely flammable).Plastic dissolves in this type of solvents and then you can just rinse it off. The safest and most effective way is to heat up your wood stove (as I assume the melted plastic is on the outside) and use a putty knife to scrape it off when it's hot.
