Mechanical Pencil
Gallery
I didn’t know what to expect with this. The mechanical pencil is plastic,
which will melt, but it’s made of a dark plastic tube inside a transparent
plastic tube. I think what happened is the dark plastic insides got hot
enough to melt the surrounding transparent plastic. Then the whole
pencil started deforming! In the last image, you can see some of the
graphite poking out of the “elbow.” Thanks to Mike for sacrificing his
pencil.
