I use a husqvarna commercial trimmer and I can say with out a doubt that
commercial trimmers do not use .90 string. Most commercial trimmers use
..105 or better. Double line is way better than single line (cuts twice as
much in half the time) and the melting you get is due to the head
overheating. The overheating is most likely due to the overly heavy
workload for the string size or due to the geardrive in the head
overheating. The geardrive would be overheating if it is low on grease or
if it's cheap and made for lighter work. Btw, dunking your trimmerhead
into ice water is just plain silly. If you feel the need to that, then you
need a better trimmer that can handle your workload.

Many homeowner trimmer will come with .80 string but many of them can
handle .90 without any problems. They reccommend .80 string.... so they
can sell more string. .90 string will last quite a bit longer if it is
good quality.
