As has been noted, the UF jacket has poor UV resistance. It is NOT a 
good choice.

How much power were you running:)

RG numbers have not been a spec for 40-50 years -- rather they are a 
general description of things like physical size, impedance, and whether 
the center conductor is solid or stranded. I'd guess your experience 
with melting may have been the result of buying using poorly 
manufactured coax, or using too much heat, trying to solder to poor 
quality connectors.
