Usually thicker plastic takes longer to melt, but it's not necessarily "harder". Also keep in mind, melting plastic in a confined place will cause you to breathe in toxic fumes, so make sure to do it outside or with the windows open.
Thermosetting plastics. Once cooled and hardened, these plastics retain their shapes and cannot return to their original form. Thermosetting plastics dont melt (i think) :)
I think that chocolate buttons will melt faster than smarties because smarties are hard but chocolate buttons are softer

When heat is applied to a hard plastic, it can soften and become more pliable, making it easier to shape or mold. However, excessive heat can also cause the plastic to melt or deform permanently. It's important to carefully control the temperature when working with hard plastics to achieve the desired outcome.
No, cottage cheese will not melt when heated. It may become softer and release some liquid, but it will not melt like cheese.
Yes, ricotta cheese does not melt like some other cheeses when heated. It becomes softer and creamier but does not fully melt.
No, wooden logs cannot melt because they are made up of cellulose fibers and other organic materials that do not have a melting point like metals or plastics. Instead, wood will burn when exposed to high enough temperatures.
It depends what it's made of. Normal ceramic is unlikely to melt but would probably crack. Steel might melt in an extremely hot fire. Plastics would melt.

Many solids can melt in sunlight, particularly those with low melting points. Examples include ice, various types of wax, and certain plastics like polystyrene. Additionally, softer metals such as lead can also melt if exposed to sufficient sunlight and heat. The extent of melting depends on the intensity of sunlight and ambient temperature.
All material substances, including plastics of every type, can absorb heat to a greater or lesser degree (the measurement of heat absorbing ability is officially known as heat capacity). There are plastics that will melt if you heat them, but they still absorb heat, even as they melt.
Thermoplastic plastics melt when heated and therefore can be easily molded and recycled. In comparison, Thermoset plastics utilize a chemical reaction to cure and irreversibly set.
