I have one of these that I was going to throw out if he wants to test it
out. I doubt it will work on plastic though because I believe it can only
use conductive material.
I've heard nothing but bad things about ColdHeat, but it's been so long
since I've used mine that I can't remember how it performed. Let me know if
you want me to bring it to the shop.
