Techniques for melting and preservation

I've been researching how to melt objects (mainly plastic??) because I think melting all the obtained objects together into a solid mass is still an option.

Also, putting them in jars with formaldehyde is one option that would preserve the objects in a collection-like display (for which I'd have to order the chemical supplies). I like the idea of using something that's normally used to preserve things that were once living, as if the objects hold some life within them as well.

As for display purposes, I'm considering a resin cube with the objects floating inside. I've researched the overwhelming amount of types and am leaning toward Tarbender High Gloss Coating and Encapsulant. The 3D objects would be floating in the clear resin and the objects toward the outside of the cube would be visible.
