you can take the melted section of the vac. lines out. Simply cut the section of the tubing that is badly melted, then get a piece of rubber vacuum hose, and slip it over the hose. If it fits reasonably tight, it will work fine.

What I do is take the vac lines you need rejoin down to ace hardware or a local hobby shop, grab some hollow brass tubing that fits snug inside each of the vac lines.

Then cut some 1" pieces of tubing, stick them in one end, and then join the other. I then tape them up and you are done.

If you want to cap one off, get some rubber plugs that fit sung around the outside, and you are done. Or go the brass tubing route, stick it in the vac line, then make several pinches along the tubing, so it will not leak. That is how they cap of lines for refridgerators & a/c's.

yeah, do just like above.. get some more hose, connect where other is melted.. use a lighter and just melt the ends together (don't torch them)
