I use to pour chips of styrene into a tamiya liquid glue bottle when it was near empty. The result was a thick paste that you could use to make parts , using silicon molds.
Resin parts come with frame support. once you cut the pieces from their support,can they be reused , melt, or they are just to be discarted?

Once it has hardened resin cannot be remelted or recast. The most you can do with leftover resin bits is to use them to make details by sanding them to shape or to fill large voids and gaps. Of course you can also use it to repair broken resin kits.
