How to get melted plastic off iron?

[natty68]

I received a Black Decker iron for Christmas. And there is now a huge chunk of melted plastic on it!! :sad:
Although no one will admit to it, it looks like some sort of Lego or other toy.:shrug7:
Can anyone help me? The plastic is all over the iron.

I LOVE TO IRON!

Either place it in a shallow pan of ice water and scrape it off, or heat the iron up hot enough to remelt the plastic and scrape it off.

Google it...

I will Google. At work right now so I'm sneaking on web. :)

I don't know if it will work for melted plastic, but I read that if you want to get candle wax off of something, you stick it in the freezer for a few hours and it'll come off easier. It may be worth a try. :shrug7:
