For my 2 cents worth is that you do not have a short ????? but you are
drawing too much amperage for the fuse ie you say that there is molten metal
in the fuse & melted plastic..
have you put in bigger /brighter globes or anything else that would draw
more currant than the system was designed for ?
if you have a short the fuse will blow slow blow fuses only allow for an
increased startup surge ie tv/video's that type of thing they do not "slow
blow" if there is a short present.
