No, Plastic is not conductive! I other words plastic can not conduct electricity therefore it can not produce resistance, and resistance is what you need to produce heat. and that heat would melt the plastic. Now if you touch a "live" wire to metal and that metal was grounded ( for example to a cold water pipe) then you would be completing the circuit, then that piece of metal would heat up very rapidly and eventually melt! of-course the smart person would not do this but if you where not so smart be prepared to get burned!!!! BE SMART!!
