Hey guys sorry I haven't posted in awhile.

Hey I was wondering: Can you melt old broken Lego bricks into liquid ABS plastic for use in molds for new custom elements. If not Lego than are there other types of plastics that can be melted at home. Also how do you melt the old Lego bricks?
Thanks again.
