what is the skin melting point

[Focus Owner]

ie the point skin starts turning to a liquid

i thought it was 65ºC but since top gear got up to 61ºC

google had no avail

could be 85ºC?

i would test this but dont have appropriate equitment

Melting point? I thought it cooked?
135C is when it starts to cook

 

[Focus Owner]

things melt as well
burning is only when it gets alot of heat direct on

i never burn at work in the cooking way i melt simularly to branding

ask belloq.........

 

[Focus Owner]

thats too fake

 

[maddogmorg]

for skin to melt wouldn't it first need to dry out, due to a high water content etc.

 

[Focus Owner]

yer it does burn not melt

so lets go with deform then set

like branding

[-DrEw-]

I somtimes go into the spray booths at work where there at 80 degrees, really unconfortable but melting... no lol

115

Thought 90 was bad enough in the sauna of the leisure center I go to.

Yeah it was pretty hot.....Only lasted 20 minutes....

Skin won't melt ffs, you will litterally boil first starting with the water content in your fat.

Dosen't skill melt/boil if put in a naked flame (like a fire, or from a lighter)

The reason why a lot of medical testing is done on pigs is because they most closely resemble humans.
What happens when you put a joint of pork in the oven?
The meat cooks & the skin becomes crackling.
If you cover the joint with tinfoil, it gets indirect heat & the skin just becomes 'less tough' - it is easy to cut through with a domestic table knife.

Oh right. Good point.

Skin doesn't melt, the fat underneath it does, the skin itself will will burn and shed as the fat melts but there's too many different molecules in skin for there to be a set point, same with blood. I asked my biology teacher in y11.

so whats fats melting point?

i remember watching a programme about spontaneous human combustion, they did an experiment with a (dead) pig wrapped in a blanket, the blanket acted as a wick when the room was on fire, drawing the fats out the pig. this caused a massive fire which took the fire brigade a long time to put out(even though it was supposedly a controlled fire!) just think about that next time you tuck yourself in at night :devil:
