      Plastics chemist here-It depends on the type of plastic your working on. Some have oils in them to soften them a bit others are just raw hard plastic. Taking a heat gun to the plastic will degrade it slightly but if you're careful and just use the heat lightly, the degradation will be slight and on the surface. Do what you need to to get the best result and put some type of cleaner/protectant on it and have lots of fresh air to get rid of fumes so you don't breath it in.

With that said, I just hope you go for another frame off restoration. It has been so fun watching you rebuild your grams 94 to original factory again.
