The only problem with what you're suggesting, Roger, is that the
plastic won't be UHMW when it cools.

UHMW requires heat and pressure to form. Heating it without pressure
turns it into something different ( not sure WHAT it is, but it's not
UHMW.)

I've been working with UHMW for 25 years and have never heard this. Do
you have a source?
