Looks like more than one of us has been banned from using the kitchen
for modeling activities... LOL

I never had a form get that bad in the microwave, but did stop using
it when it was taken out and was -very- hot after 45 seconds... Now I
use a toaster oven like Nick, and use cotton stuff from the fabric
section at WalMart... basting or something like that... the stuff
that you sew on the edges of things to keep them from unraveling...
cheap, and gives just enough to stretch tight... tack it with a
modeling pin at one end, wrap over the form, and bake away... I use
the oven set at 150, for 15-20 min... not really hot enough to burn
anything, and just keep it in longer... plus, I think that slower and
longer is better anyway...

On F1D outlines, I do them in the oven also, holding the outline down
with thread... never had any problems yet...

of butcher's twine to use instead. I use 150 degrees for about a half
hour to cure prop blades.
