One of my favorite quotes:...it is very difficult to defeat "stupid"....
Strange as it may seem, no amount of learning can cure stupidity, and formal education positively fortifies it.

Is that the melting point of polystyrene FOAM? Because I have built small temperature test chambers with the stuff (handy) and seen it shrink back at as little as 200F. According to Wikipedia (I know...) the solid polystyrene melts & flows above 212F. Foam would surely be less...FWIW, the melting point of polystyrene is 464-degrees F, which was why in a previous post I thought it should survive up to 212-degrees.

Sounds a whole lot closer than the 464F you previously posted.The solid polystyrene material becomes liquid at that temp (the raw material before it is made into foam). It can easily become unstable at lower temperatures, and Schluter says the acceptable upper limit on their product is 70C, or 158F, if I did my conversion math in my head right.
This is awkward, but...
